Windows 2000 Professional Re-installation

[Guest]

Hello,

I tried to reinstall my Windows 2000 Professional because I dont see any programs running on my Add/Remove Programs under Control Panel - my all installed programs(like Word, IE, databases etc) were not working though they used to run earlier perfectly. But when I tried to reinstall the OS, I followed all the steps in installation. But still no effect - the OS is behaving like the same as earlier. Even a reistallation of OS should delete all the existing application folders on Hard disk - it's not doing that either. Do you know what's going on?

Thanks

RajHaldar,

Reinstalling of OS does not remove the MS Office
Applications or any other for that matter. The only way to
clean reinstall the OS is to Fdisk the hard drive and
start over (but this should be done as a last resort since
you will loose all your personal files).

I suggest you reinstall the MS Office application again.
It seems that you have problem with them and not the OS.
