The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Office 2000 SR-1a gone from Microsoft's site?

Asked by Sma11T0wnITGuy in Microsoft Office Suite

Tags: Microsoft Office 2000, SR-1a

Yes, Office 2000 is old and we have to upgrade (we plan to upgrade to Office 2010 later this year and we have some Office 2007 machines out there), but does anyone know if Microsoft has been pulling its updates for Office 2000 such as SR-1a from its site?  I'm trying to install Office 2000 SR-1a on a computer and it appears that the link to SR-1a is still there, but the file is missing.  I get the following error:
Microsoft Office 2000 SR-1 Update
Microsoft Office 2000 SR-1 Update did not complete successfully.  For assistance, contact Microsoft Technical Support.
See the log file: Office 2000 SR-1 Setup(0001).txt

The log file contents are in the code section below.  Note the error toward the end "Error: The Office 2000 SR-1 Core Update patch is missing or invalid."

I know I'm beyond support:
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifeoffice#Office
The Office 2000 extended support period will last from July 1, 2004 through July 14, 2009.

Did they delete the patch from public view?  Are there any other reliable sources for the patch(es)?
