When I click on one of my Office apllications such as Word, it immediately goes toa windows installer. I then get a message that setup cannot open the registry key. I tied removing Office 2000 to reload but I get the same error message. I was able to reload Office however when I clicked on the program, it started the same loop
Any information would be appreciated.

Can you use System Restore to go back to the point before
you had this problem? Go to Start, Programs, Accessories,
System Tools, Restore and restore to a date before this
happened.
