I put office 2003 on my home PC recently and it has made my system run real slow. If I uninstall office 2003 will office 2000 still be there and nothing lost? Or if I did a system restore to a couple of day ago would that get rid of it?

If you performed an upgrade from Office 2000 to Office 2003 and you uninstall Office 2003, it will uninstall Office altogether.
If you do a system restore to a point before installation of Office 2003, you should then be left with Office 2000.
Office 2003 does occupy more system resources than previous versions of Office which results in more workload on the computer. If there are reasons why you would want to use Office 2003, maybe consider adding more RAM.

do a system resore, but it isn't necessarily office 2003 that is making it run slow. first try deletin any and every extra files that you have on your computer to clear up some disk space. uninstall your programs. if none of this works, the restore. idon't think 2000 will be there though. how old is your comp. if it can't run 2003 without slowing you might want to consider a new one.

A system restore should do the trick.
The problem with microsoft historically is that they want to have everything in memory running all the time to reduce your startup times. There is a little toolbar associated with Office 2003 on your window. ctl+alt+del and see how much of your memory it is using. If it is a lot, kill it. You can still use 2003, it will just take longer to load when you do.

Why not just turn off Office 2003 at startup, it will still work when you need it, but it won't be running in the background.
to do this:
go to start
go to run
type msconfig
go to startup tab
uncheck office and any other programs you don't need running at startup
click apply
computer will reboot with new settings
put a check in "don't show me this again......." on the window that pops up saying you are starting in trouble shooting mode and click OK

Was it a legal copy? If it was a downloaded off the net, who knows what you infected your computer with.
I never heard of a problem like that with a legal copy.
