Question about 'Kill the Office Paperclip!'

Whenever I start office 2000 Word, Excel or Powerpoint, I get the Office Assistant popup window which says 'The Office Assistant could not be started. Please repair the Assistant by running Office 2000 setup and selecting "Repair Office 2000"'. I have done so but the popup is still there. I have even reformated my hard-disk hoping to completely clean up whatever remants settings, etc [One good side-effect is that I managed to reclaim substantial amount of hard-disk space :)) ] The bad news is that it still didn't work. Would appreciate any advice. Thanks and have a pleasant day.
