Everytime i open the search function in Win XP, this stupid Microsoft Office 2000 self installer will pop up. Although i already have the office installed, it just keeps executing everytime i search for files or images. Any ideas? With all these problems, should i just format my whole hd and perform a clean install of Win Xp instead? What i mean by clean install is to install Win 98/Me first, then the Xp upgrade. I have not the full version of Win XP.

That should help ALOT.
Remember though, that it isn`t Microsoft`s responsibility to make their Operating System compatible with every single program anyone could use; instead, it is the responsibility of the people who make the programs to make them compatible with an OS.
If your programs are incompatible, check for patches, or replace them with ones that ARE compatible.
