I recently made configuration changes on three workstations (Win2k
Pro). On one of the systems, it required Office (2000 Pro) to be
reinstalled, which I did without problem. The exception being Outlook.
I can use Outlook when I'm logged in as the administrator. However, if
I log in as the user, attempting to open Outlook brings up the
following:

"Your computer has been upgraded from Windows 95 or Windows 98 to a
later version of Windows. Outlook must configure itself for this
version of Windows." (I did not upgrade from an earlier version of
Windows.)

I click OK and it attempts to configre before giving this:

"Error 1706. No valid source could be found for product Microsoft
Office 2000 SR-1 Professional. The Windows installer cannot continue."

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Used the installation clean-up
tool from Microsoft. Made sure the CD-ROM was in the drive before
launching Outlook. All to no avail.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Is it safe to say that no one has any more of an idea what's wrong
here than I do?

I'm thinking it may be because Office was updated after its initial
installation and the patch (or patches) are creating a problem for the
reinstallation.
