Contact your support folks at work then to ask them about the Home Use
product ID key that you were given. You might even want to take in your
machine to show them what is happening. I am not all that familiar with the
offering from SA 6.0 so perhaps the admins at work can be of better
assistance.

| Let me explain this a little clearer.
|
| I install Office PE 2003. Installation appears to work
| fine as there are no error messages. However, I find it
| odd that no icons are created on my desktop.
|
| When I want to start Word (or any other office program) I
| select START - All Programs - Microsoft Office - Word.
| Word starts loading. Then before I can do anything, I get
| a dialogue box asking fro my name, initials, company, and
| product key. If I key in the product key from my home use
| program cd, I get an error message stating "You have not
| entered a valid Product key." I have tried this on
| several occasions.
|
| This is a brand new pc with Windows XP Home edition. Do I
| need a product key for each individual program? I thought
| having one for Office would do.
|
| Thanks,
| Dan
