I say apparently because if I open, say Word 2000, for second time, I just have time to notice that it has opened with Document 2. I have just completely re-installed Office 2000 and it still continues to misbehave. I am running Windows 2000.	Guest (0)

Otherwise, if it is the original, have you had it installed before, and had it working. if you have, have you installed anything new lately, maybe win 2000 is the problem. Finaly have you tried borrowing someone elses cd and tried installing it from that. Maybe your disk is faulty or become faulty. :)	Guest (0)

If its not registered with microsoft I believe it closes. You get 50? uses until registered. It stops people copying or lending the CD TW	Guest (0)

If so, what is it? 3. Check the Serial Number of you Office 2K. If it starts with GC6J3 XXXX ...., then, you've a problem. It is most likely that your copy is not original. Solution 1: Get the original software and re-install your Office 2K solution 2: Hunt for another set of 'known good' serial number and use this to re-install your Office 2K. Good Luck bk	Guest (0)
