Did you install SR1? I found this info at http://office.microsoft.com/assistance/2000/o2ksr1faq.aspx
Why do my Office 2000 applications exit a few seconds after opening?
Office 2000 SR-1a is designed to update licensed, released copies of Office 2000. Those users who have a released and licensed version of Office 2000 will not run into this when installing SR-1a. Customers using unlicensed Office 2000 software or pre-release (e.g., preview) software will not be able to upgrade successfully to SR-1a. Users who are inadvertently running unlicensed copy should uninstall their current installation and reinstall a released copy of Office 2000, and then apply the SR-1a update. Users who are still running into this issue after they have uninstalled and reinstalled should contact product support. Or, they should follow the directions in the article posted at: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q255/5/03.asp
