Last 2 auto updates of outlook failed to install. All other updates are
getting installed. This morning I opened outlook and clicked the detect and
repair button. After the initial dispalys, it said the operation failed. I
tried 3 -4 times again, but with no success. After this incident, now all
office applications start only after an initial appearence of the windows
installer screen, which subsequently disappears. But in the end outlook is
refusing to start now, and telling to reinstall. Please advice me as to how
to I reinstall, the entire office if necessary?

I am only a user and not familiar with setup etc. Can I simply insert the
office SBE CD and click the setup button?

Thank you

Repair the entire Office installation, either direct from Office cd or via
Add/Remove dialogue

Thank you.
However that is what I have been trying from yesterday. Unfortunately both
the processess have failed with the declaration of some 'fatal error'. I do
not know what is it. This has been happening even before it asks for the
insertion of the orginal CD.

At the end, I have chosen system restore to an earleir point, and everything
seems to be allright now.
Yhank you once again.

If Office is installed, allthough there may be errors, and you insert the
Office cd, the installer should detect the installation and give you a
number of options. One of which is to repair
