XP DISK CLEANUP IDENTIFIED MICROSOFT OFFICE (ALL PGMS) AS NOT BEING USED
RECENTLY IN ERROR. IN ERROR I DELETED THEM, LOST WORD AND EXCEL WHICH I USED
ROUTINELY SO DO NOT KNOW WHY IT THOUGHT THEY WERE 'UNUSED' EXCEPT THAT SOME
PART OF OFFICE MAY NOT HAVE BEEN USED RECENTLY, THEREFORE CAUSING THE BAD
REPORT....THANKS FOR ANY ADVICE!!
 
TAKE THE CAPS LOCK OFF!
Reinstall them from the office CD!
or restore your pc from the install disk, No disk? Get one!
 
I assume u were looking at list in ADD/REMOVE PGMS- I dont pay any
attention to those comments. Lots of important apps like PMagic r
hardly ever used.

When in doubt I dont uninstall but break apps path. Say u have
C:\X\Y.exe & ur not sure if u use Y.exe I rename X to X¿¿ so its now
C:\X¿¿\Y.exe and let PC run for 2-4 wks. I'll get an error if anything
attemps to exec Y.exe & finding these entris is easy- search for ¿¿ &
del them if u get no errors.

Any advice is my attempt to contribute more than I have received but I can only assure you that it works on my PC. GOOD LUCK.

You used the Add/Remove programs info on "last used" data in error.

Don't do it again.
