I have installed Office 2000 Pro and I am trying to use PP and when I try to open it, it shows the splash screen and then opens for about 2 seconds and closes again. This has happened on several computers using the same disc. I am installing onto 98SE machines. HELP!!

I've seen a similar problem with Office 2K, usually involving the registration key (CD key). You usually get an error message, but not always. Try following MS article Q236590, which basically just re-registers the office programs.

Hi,

This problems occurs to most of the people whose serial number starts with GC6J3. In case your serial is same please download the service pack for office 2000. And if the serial number is diffrent from the one above, then please upgrade youroffice 2000 edition.

Thanx, Raj.
