Just purchased and installed Office Small Bus Edition over
my XP Office package, now I cant open ANY word, excel
files. First message says it can not find "normal"
template. Any attempts to open existing word or excel,
message says cant find file. Help.
Thanks, Jim

From where did you purchase this version. Office XP SBE is available as an
OEM installation only - it isn't retail. If you purchased it from eBay then
the seller had no right to sell it without the accompanying hardware -
because it's tied to the hardware on which it was first installed.

I just purchased retail Office 2003 Small Business Edition Upgrade from
Office Depot yesterday and installed it over Works version 7 . It installed
and functions just fine.

.I purchased it from COSTCO, pkg does NOT say anything
about OEM. I also saw it at Staples too.

Yes - as of 2003 the SBE is now available retail. However, the XP SBE was
OEM only - it is not (or should not be) offered for standalone sale.
