service pack 3 from xp...cause I have already installed that...They only
thing I really want of the office cd is word ...is there a way to just
install WORD from microsoft if the cd will not work...??

Wipe your hd, why?
After you reinstalled win, did you then install your drivers, and not from
winupdate.
Did you then run winupdate, before trying to install anything else?
