I am running Windows xp pro and I did a system clean up and compressed old unused files.

I think it was after that that some of my Office xp programs started to play up.

Outlook can't find the Entry point to something in Msdart.dll when I open it (the Email works I think) and Excel wants to run the installation program when I start it up.

Excel works if I cancel the installation at a certain point.

All the Office programs were working before hand.

I tried uncompressing the Office folder and subfolders/files as well as Windows and the system32 folder as much as I could. This is a very time consuming thing...

Any help please?

Thanks

This is where you stuffed it up. These are files you should never touch...
Try to do a repair as mentioned.
