As soon as i open any of the office products except Access, they are closing within about 5 seconds. I've uninstalled office and reinstalled but it is still doing the same thing. I ran a couple of different virus scans on the computer but it comesback clean.

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.
Good luck!

Did you register the program yet? You know you get only 30 runs with Office 2000 before you have to register - another of MS's dark piracy protection schemes.
