Error- The operating sys is not presently configured to run this

I am presently running Windows XP Home and have copied MS Office 2000 files
from my desktop PC to my wife's desktop in the program files directory. When
I try to open any application program such as Word I get the following error
message:
"The operating system is not presently configured to run this application."
Any suggestions on how to resolve this error would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
Mike

Try looking in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE11 for mso.dll. Look at the security for this file, set to inherit from above. We had this same problem, this fixed it.

You can also use secedit.exe to restore ntfs file permissions.
