The only way I know to uninstall the updates would be to uninstall Office, run the registry eraser, and reinstall. http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00297.htm for links to the erasers. But I'd probably check out a few things before going this far. http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00253.htm There's a link there that specifically deals with PPT quitting immediately after installation of SR-1/1a. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com ----- Original Message ----- From: <John82654@xxxxxxx> To: <mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, September 28, 2002 5:22 PM Subject: [mso] Re: powerpoint and a note for Vic > I just installed all the Office 2000 updates.
