Office 2000 was not developed for Windows Vista.
It is obsolete since it was developed over 7 years ago
for an ancient 16-bit DOS-based operating system.

You might try OpenOffice.org instead. It is a free download and very
compatible.

Try applying SP3, restart and try again

No. Don't be afraid of blue screens when running Windows. It's perfectly
normal.

Obsolete? Not if it meets the users needs.

Developed for 16-bit DOS? Hardly. Office 2K was developed and
released along side Windows 2000, a full 32-bit OS.
