Try this article. You can access it from support.microsoft.com tpye in the following:

Program Quits Immediately After Starting When SR-1/SR-1a Update Is Applied

Note:
Most of the Office2000 suite requires IE5 to be properly running. Go into add/remove programs and click on uninstall IE5. You should get a screen asking if you want to repair it first. Try that, if it still doesn't work I would uninstall Internet Explorer5 and reinstall it.
Also try downloading the latest service packs for MS office you can also obtain these from microsoft.com
