Are you using Terminal Services with a volume license CD installation?

Sorry I may seem a bit stupid but can you explain what you mean by terminal
services and volume license cd. All I have done is to install xp pro from the
cd, the two laptops came with xp home already installed

1. XP Pro and XP Home are operating systems. They are irrelevant to this
discussion.
2. Office cannot be configured to run from the network without using
Terminal Server and a volume license. It must be installed locally if you
are not using this configuration.

Please explain, clearly, what you did and what you are trying to do.
