Office 2007. Word Spell Checker asks for Office 2000 installation

Hi all.

I used to run Office 2000 but uninstalled it and installed Office 2007.

When I run Word the Spell Checker does not function. When I try to run it,
the computer tries to install it and then asks for the Office 2000
installation disks.

I insert the Office 2000 disks but then it then says it can't find the MSI
file.

I have downloaded and installed the following but there is no difference

latest version of the MSI file
Office 2007 Service Pack 1
Word 2007 update (KB934173)

I have scanned my hard disk for any remaining office 2000 files. In
Add/Remove programs there is a option showing Microsoft Office 2000 but no
remove option.

I have also noticed when I enter several websites, it asks for the Office
2000 installation disks.

Any ideas anyone will be most gratefully appreciated.

Just to add.

I have uninstalled Office 2000 and 2007 several times and ran several
registry cleaners.

Hi Mally,

Check in Add/Remove programs in the Windows control panel to see what other 2000 series apps may still be listed. Using Registry
cleaners can cause odd effects though as it may 'break' part of the links that tell Windows what is/isn't installed, without
removing everything.
