My office 2000 program started to act up, so I figured just pop in the disc and do a repair, I keep getting this error message: Internal error 2809. It won't allow me to delete it from the Office disc or from Add/Remove Programs, I would like to delete it clean then re-install, so what I would like to know is there some third party program that will seek and find all files from Office 2000?

The only program that I know of is called "Uninstall" but I doubt if it would work. CAn you install over the top and then maybe you can get the program uninstalled and start from fresh.

What operating system are you running? What kind of PC do you have? Here's what has worked for me in the past for NT4 on Compaq 400+;

Start>Run>Regedit>My Computer(highlighted)>Find;"Mso97*.*" -no quotes->Delete all Mso97*.* files (press F3 after each instance to find another). Try installing Office 2000 (O2K)again If you have Lotus Notes e-mail, rename the notes.ini file to 1notes.ini,install O2K, then return notes file to original name.
