is there such a thing as a registry repair program

[sparks]

I have shortcuts on my desktop that when I click them when it
pops up a microsoft office 2000 sr-1 premium install...
please wait while windows configures office 2000 sr-1 premium...when I cancel
this the program works like it should.

WT hell is it doing?

hoping that I can fix this somehow...its xp pro...been running for 2 yrs.

It's been a long time since I've used Office 2000, but I think you may need to insert the install media again and let that process run once and then it should be fine.

Have you tried just letting it go and configure office??

the office programs run fine.

I click on something like bandwidth monitor and this pops up.

There are 3 shortcuts on my desktop that have nothing to do with office and they do this.

It must be something with a shared dll or something.

At work i see that with symantec quite a bit. Either uninstall or reinstall it and it should take care of it.
