Office 2000 asks for windows XP

[eliud villanueva]

I tried to open the sample in Access, it did not let me, it
asked for the office 2000 cd, I put it in and when I tried
to reinstall or fix the installation it started until it
got to a point where it said: "windows files must be
installed for your installation to proceed, Insert your
Windows XP home edition service pack 1 CD now"
I tried every CD that came with my computer (it is about 8
months old) and it did not find the file it needs.
Where can I get this "service pack 1 cd"
(I have windows XP home edition, and my office program was
bought for my previous computer that had windows 98)

Hi,

Check under C:\Windows for a folder called ServicePackFiles and point the
installer to it. If prompted just for the WinXP CD, try looking for an I386
folder.
