Starting Office XP Apps demands Installation CD?

G

Whenever I try to start an Office program (Word, Excel, whatever), I get a
prompt instructing me to insert the installation CD. I'm running Windows XP
Home Edition on a HP Pavilion za5400 laptop. The Office suite came
pre-loaded, and I don't HAVE the installation disk, and I never did. This
just began happening in the last month or so. PLEASE HELP!

Nevermind! I DLed and installed SP3 and it fixed it. Thanks anyway, though.

Good. You might want to check with HP and find out how to create some sort
of backup disk, just in case. (Assuming it can be done, of course.)
