Can't share Office

[Mike McCarron]

Just got new windows XP machine. Logged in and loaded
Office XP. Created accounts for my kids, but the can't use
office. Everytime they try to use it it looks like it
looking for the CD. How do you install software that will
be usable by every user on a single computer. My kids are
now using my login to do their homework. I wanted to keep
them out of some of my stuff. Can I reinstall it under
each user account? Where can I get some instructions on
setting this up or can I?

Thanks

Hi Mike,

Login to their accounts and put the office cd in the drive and then open
Office up. Let it access the cd and go through its thing until Office opens
up. Then close Office and log out of that account and log back in. Take
the Office cd out and open Office up and see if it still checks for the cd.
