Office XP keeps wanting to install

[Guest_imported]

I recently installed Office XP Small Business (after uninstalling 2000 Professional). Frequently (several times a week) when trying to open one of the programs, it will open but pop up the dialog box asking me to insert the disk to install an office feature. After doing so, all programs will run as normal for a day or so, then it happens again. I tried running a repair installation, but the problem still comes back. Anyone have any ideas????

Perhaps when you did the initial installation you left (or set) a bunch of optional Office components/features at "install on demand."

Now every time you try using one of these features it'll want the CD again.

This was really meant for companies who set up an installation image on a network share, so people only got what they needed installed on every machine. When your target installation medium is the CD it can be a pain.

Just a thought.
