I recently bought Office Small business edition 2003
upgrade and have started to install onto my computer that
has XP the first disk with excel word etc installs
finebut when I put the 2nd disk in there is a message
that say the due to a server error installation cannot
continue and I should run a server error report, do you
think the disk is faulty as I dont have a server! Also
when I tried to install on another computer it says it
needs to be 400 mghz or more (that computer was 398mghz)
is there anyway round this so that I can install on both
computers and share files etc
 
You should always post the exact text of any error message you receive.
Otherwise, we're all just guessing. When you install BCM, you are in fact
installing a local database server.

In the meantime, you might check http://www.slipstick.com/bcm/bcmfaq.aspx to
see if your error message is listed.

Also note that BCM has its own group -- microsoft.public.outlook.bcm
 
You can't legally install Office on another desktop computer without buying more licenses. It won't activate unless both are your personal computers--one laptop and one desktop. As for the installation, you don't install the second disk by itself. The first disk should tell when to put in the second. Go to Add/remove in Control Panel, select MS Office, Change, choose Add or Remove Features and pick the additional items you want to "run from my computer." You'll then be asked for the disks. There are many features that are not installed until first use or until you ask for them. Office is too big to install all the features by default, so pick and choose which ones are useful to you.
