MS Office 2000 Prem Error

samilees · 05-11-2006, 02:03 PM

I have MS Office 2003 Professional and just recently have been getting an error popup that references MS OFffice 2000. The popup is:
"Microsoft Office 2000 Premium"
'The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disc that is not available. Insert MS Office 2000 Prem disc and click okay'
I don't have the MS Office 2000 discs any longer (have the 2003 discs).
Also, when I went to Add/Remove in the Control Panel, it shows I have the following installed:
Office 2000 Disc 2
Office 2000 Prem
Office Live Meeting 2005
Office One Note 2003
Office Professional Edition 2003
Could these be in conflict with each other?
Thanks for the guidance,
Sami

Sure could. If you don't have the disks, you don't really have a legal installation. You may want to consider uninstalling both completely (and manually) and then reinstalling 2003. That's a shame, 'cause I have 97, 2000, 2002, and 2003 and if I could only have one, I'd pick 2000 Premium. It's the best.

Here's how to remove:
