Very annoying behaviour of Excel 2003

Each time I am opening Excel, it is installing some component. This takes
several minutes, and becomes very annoying.

I recently had to reinstall XP and Office from the distribution CDs. I have
the problem since then. It certainly has something to do with the install.

Does anyone on this forum ever experienced such a behaviour.

I am running Office 2003 on XP SP3.
 
When you install off the CD, be sure to select everything to "Run From
My Computer", not "Run On First Use" or one of the other options.
Also, try installing while you are logged on as an admin. Finally,
this problem can appear if you have more than one version of Office
installed on the same machine.

Cordially,
