You might try this. I have seen user profiles get corrupted and cause odd behavior. Back up any data from your profile and then with an admin account delete it though system properties on the user tab. You might try using a different account if possible to see if the issue is still there or not. If the problem persists with a different account then this may not be the fix. You might try reloading the office application(s). Make sure you have the correct Office disk. Also you may need to have the correct version of office. There are different flavors of office 2000. If by some chance you have the wrong version you may get errors when trying to do updates.

Just my 2 cents

I'm experiencing a similar problem; all Office 2000 products run OK as Administrator, but Word asks for datapro1.msi when the user tries to use Word. What files do I need to backup for the user before I delete the user? Where do they live?
Thanks....
