Well it probably has something to do with WinME. Which is a very unstable OS to begin with. Try updating WinME, something just might have conflicts due to being out of date of each other. If you get problems right after you install WinMe then Install Office XP then install SP-1. Then it might be a bad copy of SP-1 for Office XP. Seen wierd things happen, due to a bad CD or a corrupted download. My advice try a different copy of Office XP SP-1, first. Still having problems.......Newer OS? Glen P.S. Sorry I really hate WinME. --- ED R <ebbourg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > For the 2nd time I installed SP-1 for Office XP and > the 2nd time my > system was so screwed up that I had to reinstall > windows.
