• I am running XP with Office 2003 student version both on CD
not OEM version on my main desktop computer
• Sony Vaio laptop is unfortunately OEM XP but with the Student version of Office
• I also have Onenote running and that does exactly the same thing
• Other people have reported other programs also reinstalling themselves
• I do not have or want Office 2007 !! and I have never even tried it on my machines. However the problem because of time lap is being reported mainly on Office 2007 that is why I quoted those however there are other people getting issues with previous instalments of office
• I have CD disc for Student version Office 2003
• Error message is please wait while office installs itself
• Sometimes it seems to do a repair other times it asks for CD disc
• I am a PhD student Philosophy so word is in use constantly and this is driving me mad every time I reboot
• I have just wiped the hard drive and done a complete reinstall of everything in stages with images
