Microsoft Office Under a New Profile

[jereviscious]

Hi all..

I have a machine in our office which was bought and configured under Dell
about a year and 1/2 ago.

When I built a new profile under WINDOWS XP for a new user, and attempted to
re-configure outlook (and office for that matter) under the new profile, it
keeps asking me for installation disks. It turn out that DELL never shipped
the installation disks with the machine for office.

Of course the machine works fine under the old profile. Is there a way
around this problem that doesn't involve installations disks??

Thanks in advance

Not that I know of, unless you get the option to skip looking for the
installation media.

I have yet to see a Dell ship out without Office CDs when you request it
preinstalled. Call Dell. You need to have those CDs handy anyway.....
