Anything Microsoft Office is an absolute pig. 2 weekends ago I was trying to reinstall Office 2007 on my XP laptop. I'd had it on there before but wasn't using it and suddenly I needed it again. The installer just crashes after about 20 minutes because it can't continue due to traces of a previous installation. 'Remove previous installation?' it says. 'Yes' I say. Then half an hour later the installer just crashes in a different spot. 1 1/2 days of this and I give up. There's always Open Office.
