Office launches with installer since new motherboard

[Jerry B]

I had a new motherboard installed yesterday. The tech said everything went
smoothly. Computer behaves as expected in every other aspect. However, now
when I launch any Office 2002 product--Outlook, Excel, etc.--the Office XP
Small Business Edition installer launches and asks for the CD. If I cancel
out of the dialog box, it displays error 1706 (Can't find proper CD) then it
launches the intended program--Outlook, Excel, etc. I have the Office CD that
came with my computer, but am reluctant to reinstall unless I have to.

Any idea how I can prevent the system from asking for the Office CD?

Jerry, Office 2002/XP is aware when there is a major hardware change on your
system. At this point the installer is more than likely running to make you
re-activate the product.
