XP Installation

Dec 16, 2003 11:52PM PST

I just installed win xp pro on my computer. I have xp office standard, but it will not install properly. ie. word does not work, and outlook does not. excel does, and Powerpoint does. If anyone can help me solve problem I will appreciate very much. I have tried uninstalling office features and re-installing with same results.
Thanks
Don Martin

Thank you Larry. This isn't an option for me, because of my registered business software. Since xp Std Office is compatible with xp pro, There must be some way.
Thanks

SMG's uninstall and then run a registry cleaner to make sure

all traces are gone, then try instaling again. Workaround download open office (http://www.openoffice.org) it is free and does everything that Word, etc. does.

BTW, SMG's are some more guesses
