I installed Windows 2000 and Office 2000 22/11. It is a dual boot with FAT32 since I installed on a Windows 98 platform. It all worked fine until one week ago and I have no idea what happened then. The annoyances are: 1 RUN PROBLEMS. When I start Word, Regedit, Notepad etc by using Start - run .... I get the message " ... file not found ...". The programs starts and work normal but the error message is displayed and the run dialog box remains on screen and you have to close those windows. 2 START PROBLEMS. When I start by using Start - Programs - ..., some programs (Words, Excel etc) will give the message " ... can't find the file (null) or ... components ...". Other programs like Notepad and Wordpad starts OK. I have checked and double checked all registry keys (run, exefile etc), updated my antivirus SW (NAV) and performed several scans.
