APPLIES TO


 * Microsoft Office Personal Portfolio 2002

-



This article was previously published under Q300089



SYMPTOMS
When you install Microsoft Office Personal Portfolio, it may require more disk space than expected.

When you remove (uninstall) the installation by using the Add/Remove Programs utility, you may not recover all of the disk space.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the installation of Office Personal Portfolio includes the most recent version of Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5, as well as DirectX 8.0, Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC), and Windows Installer. These programs use the majority of the disk space required by the installation. These programs are not removed when Office Personal Portfolio is removed.
