Thanks for the thorough checks and followup on what you did, s.o'b.

I'd next try going to Help/Detect and Repair and see if running that fixes
it.

The relevant part of the tinyurl link is below. That's the next thing I'd
try. But you will probably need to make some modifications to that exact
regedit sequence. If Start/Run Regedt32 doesn't work, try Start/Run and type
regedit (I'm not sure which works with Win2000, you see). Also, I believe
the version of Office you're looking for will be 10.0.
Can't guarantee that this will work, but it's worth a try. Be sure to back
up the registry before trying this!

Click Start, Run, Regedt32, OK
Allow full control to users of the following keys:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0

Security - Permissions - check "Allow inheritable permissions" - Allow
fullcontrol to all users.
