I can't uninstall Office 97 need advice

office 97 was installed on these machines at some point in the past. I try to uninstall it now and it says, Setup cannot find the the files on 'e:\' from which I originally installed the product.

Burning CD - Temp Files Can Not Be Deleted

PinkPanther
Hello all, I normally use the built-in method in Windows XP Pro to burn my CDs. You put in a blank CD, an Explorer window pops open, you drag your files to it, and burn. Normally, this goes without any trouble.

PaTiNsAnE
Hello, I have a slight problem. Whenever I run Disk Cleanup I get a prompt saying that its calculating how much space it would free if it compressed older files. Its getting to the point where it takes 5-10 mins just to even get into the disk cleanup.

Ok, let me try and explain this. I have my favorites icon showing up on my start menu, but instead of showing as a Star it just shows up as a folder. It doesnt hinder anything, i just want it to show as a star for asthetics purposes.

Lockups

ViolentGreen
I recently did a fatory-restore on my laptop. I then installed some windows updates. Now my computer will run for about 30 minutes (sometimes more, sometimes less) and then completely lock up. Anyone have any suggestions? I am running xp home.
