MS Office still asks for CD…

We have a user here on a Win2000 laptop that was passed on to him by another user. I unfortunately don’t know much of the history of it, and I do not like Win2000, as I feel it is overly cumbersome for an average workstation. Now that user b has thelaptop, MS Office is being weird with email attachments. Working on the desktop, Office is fine, and it is fine when receiving attachments. However, when SENDING an email with a Word or Excel attachmant, etc it always asks for the Office CD to be inserted. You can click “cancel” and it goes ahead and sends it, but it is still rather annoying. I’ve checked permissions and don’t see anything that needs to be changed there. Any suggestions? Please??
