This hasn't solved the problem. I have completely
uninstalled Office, using the Add/Remove Programs icon in
the Control Panel, rebooted the computer, and performed a
complete installation from the administrator account upon
reboot. It's still asking for the CD when attempting to
open Office applications from other user accounts. When I
insert the CD, it appears as if it's going to proceed but
instead displays an error message that refers to a "patch
package" not existing. Can anyone provide any help?
