Install and de-install problems

[Guest]

I put a copy of Office 2003 on a frients computer and then came home to find
that my version of office 2003 did not work. I was getting problems in Word
that said "file not available" and someting in excel regarding the virus
scanner. I looked through the newsgroups and thought I have a problem with
Norton Anti Virus-I had an old copy on my system-- so I deleted it. It
didn't fix it.

I realized I wasn't "allowed" to have more then one running copy of Office
2003, so deleted mine and had my friend delete theirs. I figured that a new
install would trump the other but I still problems with word and excel. Then
I started problems with de-installing from the control panel, error was "the
temp folder is on a drive that is full or inacessible" and then tried to
install again and received "error 2203 fatal error during installation". I
tried to de-install Microsoft money as a test and received the same error.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help!

Try logging in as the administrator (you can see the loggin using Safe Mode
or in normal mode hit ctrl-alt-del twice at the windows welcome screen.)

You receive an "Internal Error 2203"
