Word looks for cd each time its started
sgb43UK 09.07.2006 12:21:01
Ive just reinstalled Office 2000 Pro and applied all relevant updates,
everything works find except for word, wherever I start it from, it brings up
the "installing" box and asks me to put the cd in the drive, when I press
cancel it just says to go to setup and choose repair, then starts and acts
normally. Ive tried repairing it but he same thing happens everytime.

I have the same problem with office 2003, every time I start it up on a
limited account, the windows installer comes up and it reinstalls it self.
Doesnt happen with an administrator account. Put a thread about it here a
week ago, but nobody has replied to it. Maybe you will have better luck.
