RE: OT: Office 2000

["Kevin Hawkins" <lists@xxxxxxx>]

    Please don't take this the wrong way as I'm sure you are using a legitimate copy.... but O2K has a nasty feature that was implemented through Service Release upgrades to launch and quit should the serial number used match one of a known list of pirated/outdated numbers. I don't think this is your problem as the applications usually launch and quit almost immediately rather than randomly. There were a lot of postings re this on one of the newsgroups as it proved quite difficult to remove it afterwards - you had to manually delete some registry entries. Sorry if this is no help at all !
