WinXP Search uses animated search companions ...
and Microsoft Office installs new search companions ( additions to the default ones )
So I think the search companion is searching for newer companions from Office2000.
Try disableing Search Companion ..
Hope it works

Install SP2.
This happened to me but after I installed SP1 it didn't happen again.
Or install MS Office again. :roll:
