Office 2000 Word and Excel will not open because error

Install the retail version or obtain an updated beta

Where in Microsoft support do I find the

Hi Byron. I can't help you but you might be able to help
me! Your Post reads as though you know a bit more about
computers than I do. Here's my problem: I just "clean
installed" the Win2K Operating System in my computer, and
I inadvertently chose NTFS instead of FAT32 (whatewver
those terms mean) and now the system refuses to install
the USB-2 Drivers from my Intel Setup disc (in order to
fix the "?" I now see in my Device Manager's window where
it lists USB Devices.

My questions are: 1. Should I have selected FAT32 instead
of NTFS? 2. What's the difference? 3. Am I going to
have problems with any USB devices I connect to my system?

Greetings --

All beta licenses for Office 2000 expired years ago. You'll have
to purchase a retail version of whatever Office version you prefer.

Check on yr mb site for updated Win2K drivers, also BIOS update
NTFS / FAT is the file sys, nothing to do wih drivers.
NTFS allows better security amongst other things
