In order to repair Outlook, or Office, you would need the Office cd, which
would have been supplied by Dell.
Since Office 2000 is out of support you cannot obtain replacement disks from
either Dell or MS.
Your only real alternative is borrow or buy a set of Office disks, of the
same version currently installed.
