[URGENT] Office 2000: Did I screw something up?

W

Warewolf

I'm having a bit of a problem that is beginning to stress me out and
perhaps some of you can help.

I have a copy of Office 2000 working under XP. A few minutes ago, I
started Outlook 2000 for the first time. It had asked me if I wanted to
import material from my other e-mail programs (to which I answered 'no')
and then asked for confirmation of another feature (which I believe I
approved) and then it asked, understandably, for the program disk (CD 1)
to, I would assume, check to see if my copy was legitimate and load any
necessary drivers. Well, I had some trouble finding the disk at first so I
clicked [Cancel] and Outlook started normally, but I'm thinking, 'Oh great,
someone's going to think I copied it or, worse, I screwed up the program'

So I check the configuration 'tabs' to see if any errors were incurred or
if there was a way to call up the 'first time' configuration screen
again...and then I do something I'm probably going to regret - I use
Outlook's 'Detect and Repair' feature and, after finally finding 'CD 1', I
insert it and let the program do its thing. After restarting the computer,
I now have a fresh set of icons for starting up Office in the [Start] menu
and an urge to tear about fifty pillows to shreds. (the copy I 'repaired'
had been updated with various 'service packs' and the repair used the
original disks)

So, again, did I do something terrible to Office meaning that I'll have to
reinstall it or am I simply making a mountain out of the proverbial
molehill?

Thanks in advance for your help.
