I would have to assume that at one point your system has that fersion of
Office installed on it. Unless you put the correct disk in, that error
message will not go away.

xp proffesional edition

Are you the second owner of that computer or did someone else install Office
for you? If memory serves me right, the version of Office that your computer
is asking for was the most pirated version ever. I'm wondering if someone
wasn't real picky about paying attention to whether or not they had a legal
version.

You could try uninstalling Office then reinstalling your legal copy.

No im the first owner of the pc and for all i know the cds are 100% legal

Try installing Office and installing your version again.
