always wants to install
 

Reinstalled win98 2ed over itself to resolved an explorer (desktop) error.

Now when I try to run any MS office application, or when I try to install
new software, I get a box prompting me to insert the MS frontpage 2002 CD.
And I get that box twice. After dismissing both windows, I can then proceed
with an installation.

However, none of the office products will launch. All I get is the box,
twice, and then nothing more.

Just a guess but I'd try uninstalling Office and then reinstalling it.

Problem is that there is no listing for office in the add/remove programs.

I think this computer has had a number of different office installs, or at
least attempts. There is also an "activate office XP" that doesn't work,
but I'm willing to tackle one at a time. :-)

So, how to uninstall all remnants of office 2002, including front page, when
there are no available CD's and it's not listed in add/remove programs?

Thanks.

The only way I know is to manually delete the entries from the registry;
however, there is no guarantee you will get them all. Perhaps a post to an
Office newsgroup would be your best bet. As a last resort, back up all your
data and format the drive.

And whenever I launch windows update from the start button, the windows
installer launches and asks for that same frontpage 2002 CD, twice!

What happens if you give it the CD it's asking for?

Therein lies the problem. Don't have that one.
