I currently have Windows XP home edition and I just won a copy of Office Professional edition 2003. When I load the CD into the drive it does not automatically launch the install. Also when I search on the CD drive, the CD appears blank. I have loaded the same Office 2003 CD in two other machines and they both read the CD. When I load other CD's in this "suspect" machine it works fine. What next?
 
Greetings --

Well, it hardly matters, does it? If you've already installed
Office 2003 on two other PCs, you've reached the limit that you're
allowed, provided that those other two computers are one desktop and
one portable computer. (If they're not, you're already in violation
of the EULA.

For your specific question, either try cleaning the CD or the CD
drive.

Well, he didn't actually say he *installed* the software...

Correct, I never installed Office 2003 on any machine. I merely loaded the CD into the other machines to check if the CD was valid of if I had a bad drive. I haulted the process on Office 2000 machine and was not able to proceed on the ME machine but both machines indicated a CD was present. That was not the case in the Home XP machine. In either case an Office 2003 install is not allowable. The Home XP machine in questions reads other CD's with no problems.

Any other suggestions would be helpful.
