Hey

Has anybody else had problems reverting from Office XP back to Office 2000. I have had uninstalled XP and tried to re-install 2000 but run into problems. I have 2 versions of 2000 and they have both worked before but now it encounters an error. I was thinking that perhaps XP wasnt completely removed during the un-installation. I know MS dont like people going back to previous versions of their products but i thought Office might be exempt. Any suggestions??

Clean out all the Office registry keys, directorys remove anything associated with it. Also are you using two different cd keys that could be a issue if you used two different keys.

Cleaned out all the registry entries, files and used different keys. I get a fatal error after you click the install on the setup program.

Im kinda perplexed :angry: i then re-installed xp with no problems at all.

Has anybody got any super- de duper registry removal tools to removal all the office xp entries? I use reg-cleaner but that might be missing some.
