To get to Maintenance Mode........................

Close any Office applications.

Go to Start>Control Panel>Add/Remove and select MS Office and "change" then
select the option Add or Remove Features>Next>check option at "choose advanced
customization">Next. Scroll down to "Office Shared Features" and select Office
Assistant.

Pick one or more. Set to "run from my computer" and OK your way out.

Plunk in your CD when asked by the wizard.
