I accidentally removed Office 2003 from Windows XP - I was trying to fix it with "change" and it would not repair - said fatal error - I don't know what is wrong with it - just that I keep getting updates for it for a couple of years and the updates fail to install.

I would ask this in the Office Forums though 2003 is no longer supported http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/officeitpro
