Guest Mac Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 I am using Windows XP Professional and I have Office 2000 Professional installed. It was installed when I bought the computer... I keep getting a message to "Please wait while windows configures Microsoft Office 2000 Professonal".....Then it says to insert disk...I did not get a disk for Office when I received my computer......I do not know why it wants to configure Microsoft Office....It is working fine.....My computer won't allow me to install anything else..It says complete install that is in progress.. HELP....Any ideas on what to do...? How can I get rid of the installing message without removing my Office 2000 software or where can I get disk? Thank
Guest R. McCarty Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 Re: Windows XP Question Most times Office installs do not install 100% of the available content for Office. Whenever a call is made to a function/tool or utility that is not installed Office will call for the installer to add that content. Once invoked it's nearly impossible to stop. Later versions of Office create an MSOCache folder to provide local installation without the original install disk. Unfortunately in your situation only a Office CD will satisfy the installer running to add/remove Office components.

The OEM that installed the Office 200 product was supposed to give you a method to re-install it if something went wrong. Unfortunately for you, that method could have been a complete system wipe/install.... You need to contact the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) that sold/built the computer in question and ask them about obtaining installation media. However - be warned that with a product as old as Office 2000 - they may not have said disks available. You may have to do an eBay purchase. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

The solution is simple; you get the Office CD and put it in so that the install/configuration can complete. You should have received an Office install CD with the system if it has a legitimate license. You should consult the vendor. HTH -pk
Guest Poprivet Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 Re: Windows XP Question Go back and ask the seller; they must give you a way to put things right. IF you didn't buy Office with the computer, then uninstall it, and go get a copy of your own. Pop` Mac wrote: > I am using Windows XP Professional and I have Office 2000 Professional > installed.
