Hi everyone and thanks for reading, someone on here always seems to have the
answer.

I'm running XP Pro and had been using Office Pro 2003. I just purchased
Office Pro 2007 and started to install it. The box contained two discs. I put
Disc 1 in my drive and the installation wizard ran as I expected. When it
finished I registered and activated the software and rebooted the system as
it wanted me to.

Now I'm on MS website downloadng Office updates.

My question is .. what is on Disc 2? At no time has it prompted me to insert
it into the drive and there isn't any info on it in the box. Obviously once
the updates are finished I can put it in and see what's on it, but thought
someone might know and can tell me what to expect.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Jim

Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2007. Don't install it if you don't
intend to use it.

Good guess on my part (see my related post).

Far from bloatware. The reason not to install it if not used has nothing to do with
that (bloatware)

It's bloatware if you don't need it. I am sure all the programs (?) that
came on my wife's Toshiba laptop have a purpose to someone, somewhere.

Happy New Year,

I'm trying to load a new copy of Office Pro 2007 onto a machine that has
Office Ultimate which has been now been flagged "not genuine". When I loaded
Pro 2007, I'm still getting the "not genuine" message. The person who
originally sold me the computer w/ software is no longer around to check the
validity, hence the purchase of Pro 2007. Do I have to de-install Ultimate
before I can load Pro 2007? If not, what do I need to do?
thanks,

Try uninstalling all Office 2007 components before re-installing.
