Back on the 8th of the month the following removal tool was recommended by Bob P. Maybe this tool will solve your problems.http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork/2003/tools/BoxA13.htm

Using Windows XP: While trying to remove Office XP, I received an error message "The patch could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it...". Researching the problem at microsoft.com (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;295823) talks of a fix for all Win OS except XP. Can you help?
