Win2K runs MS Installer every startup

Just built a PIV 2.4ghz for a mate and we had to replace a faulty motherboard (Asus P4S8X-X) after only a week.

After replacing it the modem failed to work so I ran a repair from the CDROM and all seemed fine.

Then we got a MS Office error message saying we should re-install Office so I uninstalled and re-installed.

Now every time it starts up I get the MS Installer running and I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Office - it can't remove a registry entry and I've tried manually deleting it but Win2K won't allow it.

Anything I can do?

TIA

I've seen this happen with a few computers at work, and to solve that problem, we just went to "add-remove programs" click "change" for office, add remove features, then select "update now" without actually changing anything.
Hope that works for you.

Thanks for the idea but it didn't cure it?
