| 131726 | 2003-03-30 20:49:00 | Thanks for the reply Have Windows 98 1st edition + Office 2000 professional. Originally both disks installed fine but then part of 2(publisher etc) got wiped in error. Uninstalled 1 successfully and reinstalled fine. Disk 2 would not uninstall message appeared saying no disk space as D was full. D is my DVD/CD rom drive( not a writer drive). Disk 2 will load but I only get so far whether I ask for install or repair mode. Get as far as license acceptance thence it indicates location to save is D. I click on browse to change location to C but computer will not action Any ideas? Thanks |

| 131727 | 2003-03-30 22:56:00 | This is a bit out of my league, but how about doing a registry search for references to your D drive and deleting any that relate to Office? If it keeps asking to save to D that request can only really be coming from the Registry. Back up the registry first and then you will come to no harm if you do something wrong. However since D is your DVD/CD the worst that could happen is that you lose access to some programs you run from CD. This is yet another argument for drive imaging. These problems simply don't happen if you keep a current good drive image. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 131728 | 2003-04-01 02:29:00 | Hi Tregartha, I have probably one but last hope . . . You would have to edit the Registry though . I don't have Office 2000 any more, but when I went into problems, I did use this . . . "IMPORTANT:" Always backup your Registry before modifying . Click the Start button Go to Run Type Regedit Click the + Sign of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE directory click the + sign of SOFTWARE directory click the + sign of Microsoft directory Click the + sign of Windows directory click the + sign of Curren Version directory click the + sign of Uninstall Directory Once your at the uninstall directory look for Microsoft Office 2000 Disc 2 on the right pane (Window) . Once you see it, then your in the right place . Now look for a value called INSTALLSOURCE . (If the install source points to D) then all you need to do is just double click the value and change it to C:\ Click OK . Press F5 (To Refresh) Now try and install again . . . . . If that doesn't work, try this: Look for a value called ProductID Rename this value to: "OldProductID" (Without the quotes) Now Press F5 Now open up any MS Office 2000 program eg . Powerpoint and you would be required to fill in the details . You will have to reactivate your Product ID Key for confirmation . If the key is unsuccessful, if you have another one, then just perform the earlier steps again . I could of created a registry script, but yet again, on some PCs the directory names for Office 2000 are different . Lets hope that this will fix your problem . Otherwise, keep trying and let us know your situation . Cheers . |

| 131729 | 2003-04-01 05:30:00 | That's great Student That is exactly what I was thinking, only I didn't have the experience to flesh it out. I have only ever changed disk references when adding partitions changed the drive letter for some programs. Now, let's hope it helps the current problem. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 131730 | 2003-04-01 21:32:00 | Thanks student Another respondent had suggested checking my registry which I had to do a few weeks ago when I had a problem with my anti-virus program(Panda) I suspect the problem stems from about 9 months ago when I had my D drive joined with my C drive( Had 3 Gb on D and 7 Gb on C.) The tech who did it made C drive 10Gb and D took over CD rom(used to be E drive) Regards |
