Completely remove Office 2000 from Windows XP

[daverap]

MS Office 2000 Professional

Windows XP Professional

My Outlook started taking 5-10 minutes to open and forcing use of Virtual Memory. This happened very soon after a Blue Screen of Death.

I tried System Restore to go back to an earlier date. Nada.

I have uninstalled Office, tried removing as much as I could based on KB219423 but every time I re-install Office, Outlook takes 10 minutes to open. I can also see based on the toolbar options (Lookout and Google) that Office was far from completely removed. Therefore I suspect that files and/or Registry entries that caused the problem are still there.

I have trawled the web but not found any semblance of a solution to my problem. Any advice would be most appreciated.

Thanks, David

Someone suggested removing outcmd.dat which I did. I did a few other things and then re-installed for the tenth time. Thank God so far all is well.
