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.
