Have you installed the Office service packs?

Yes.
I download from microsoft site sp-1 and I want to install the pack but the software attention me I have already installed the sp-1 and I think the OFFICE PREMIUM 2000 have already the sp-1 included. I don;t know where is the problem but I appreciate your help.

I've found with BOTH Microsoft Office 2000/XP and ALSO Symantec products like Norton SystemWorks 2001-2002, that you MUST install them right after you install your OS!

Not after service packs, & not after alot of other apps are in place... it is odd, but works to do this.

(Those are the FIRST TWO I install in fact because of what you saw yourself in fact... I no longer install Office at home, unless work tasks demand it though, no need for it usually anymore)

* If you don't? Well, I saw the SAME THING you are now in fact... pretty odd! This IS the problem with apps developed with TOO many "moving parts" going away from the old-school philosophy of single exe as much as possible & not TONS of functions broken out in DLL's, ESPECIALLY ActiveX/OLEServer types exposing the possibility of DLL hell... System File Protection may seem to actually work AGAINST YOU here in fact!



APK

P.S.=> You COULD try what I did, & it did not help though also: Put in the Office CD & let it perform a "repair" (an option it has & knows to use once it has been installed)... Did not help me though, just so you know, but MAY help you! You never know... apk

office 2k pro installed and runs flawlessly on my xp

Go to office.microsoft.com and run the update wizard. This will let you see what updates need to be installed. Service Pack 2 may be the solution.

If you used a "pirate"-key during install, Office will crash like you described when upgrading with any SP for Office...
