Problem installing Office XP PRO

S

stoner

I installed the software on a new PC and when I want to access say
word.excel, etc.. a window pops up asking for the 25-character product key,
and the top of that window says MS Office 2003 Setup, and right below that it
says MS Office Standard Edition 2003. And I can find the Office XP Pro. Any
thoughts or ideas?

Sounds like your computer came with a trial version of Office
2003 preinstalled by the computer manufacturer. You should have
removed the Office 2003 trial before you installed your copy of
Office XP. At this point, I suggest that you click on Start |
Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs, uninstall Office XP,
uninstall the Office 2003 trial, restart the computer, and then
reinstall Office XP.

..doc and .xls files should remain intact as long as you didn't
put them in the same folders where the Office program files are
located (such as "C:\Documents and
Settings\<username>\Application Data" or "C:\Program Files"). As
a precaution, you should back up your outlook.pst file (which is
where your emails are stored) in case Something Bad happens.
