Office 2000 Pro YGR 5/31/2007 12:15:01 AM I've used Office sence it first came out. While upgrading the motherboard utilities from Intel [by the way I use Windons XP on a PC] it asked for a pasword and user name. I entered the a password etc and after reboot, the Windows request for password etc came up, but would not accept any of the previously used passwords of user names. I reloaded Windows XP, and to remove all passwords had the setup Windows remove the previous operating system, and then reload. It did that but now I can run any of the software previously installed. One of them being Office 2000 Pro. It's there but will not run without reloading from the CDs. Problem is, I don't have the CDs anymore. I kept all CDs in two binders. One of the binders was stolen from the hotel by the Tijuna police. The raided the room thinking I was someone else.They tore the place apart and when the tacos settled, I was missing a number of things including the binder that had Office 2000 CDs. So, the question is... How do I restart Office withou having to buy another set of Office CDs? I'm technically proficient in Bios and Setup and can usually figer things out on my own, but now I need someones suggestions. Ygr San Diego -- Ygr San Diego

If you have some sort of home owners insurance and can prove you bought Office, you may be able to write it off on your insurance but Office is a done deal. You need the CDs to reload it - no other options. You say it's there but won't run.

Re: Office 2000 Pro YGR 5/31/2007 6:19:02 PM Joann... The error message reads; "This application must be installled to run. Please run Setup from the location where you originally installed the application." Thank you for your response. Think I'll be buying Office 2007 Pro today. I have to get back to work. -- Ygr San Diego "JoAnn Paules" wrote: [Quoted Text] > You're out of luck in this case.

Re: Office 2000 Pro "JoAnn Paules" <jl_paules[ at ]hotmail.com> 5/31/2007 9:40:39 PM Good point. I would still look into trying to get insurance to cover the theft tho - assuming ownership and the crime can be proven. -- JoAnn Paules Microsoft MVP - Publisher How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 "Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook]" <MillyS[ at ]donteventhinkaboutmailingmeatmvps.org> wrote in message news:OCGyexyoHHA.3644[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl...
