    Windows 2K Install Problem
    « on: December 27, 2007, 07:56:43 PM »
    I get this thing while I'm surfing that says Please wait while windows configures Microsoft Office 2000 Small Bussiness.  Then it ask for the disk.   I put in win 2k and browser for the file called data1.msi.  Any clue what this is?

    When it asks for the disc, are you putting in the Office disc, or the Windows disc?

    My recommendation is that you let the installer finish, or, reinstall Microsoft Office. This usually happens when a feature is changed in the program, and it needs to get the data again.

      If I recall correctly that's the data file to install add-on's not originally installed with Office 2000 You'll need to use the Office 2000 CD and not the Win 2k CD.
