Install Small Business XP?

[Guest]

Hi,
I recently upgraded my OS from Windows ME to XP Home Edition. Now, each
time XP loads or I try to open either Word or Excel, Windows Installer tries
to install Small Business XP and since I don't know how or why it's doing
that I just hit cancel (and I can get into Word and Excel) can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Kate

If you performed an in-place upgrade from an earlier edition of
Windows, and Office was already installed, you'll likely have to repair
or reinstall it, so it can add the necessary additional functions needed
for use on a multi-user OS. It may be sufficient to simply insert the
respective installation CD and select the "Detect and Repair" option.
