~MS Office (Word & Excel) randomly starts with the message "installing new MS
Word Feature" -- This requires hunting down the original disk (~20 Minutes)
before it can install.

I spent $30 with your help line to fix this PROBLEM. The 'fix' lasted for
~10 days -- now it's back!! This is a very, very bad feature!!! Even the
message is absurd 'new feature' what is this new feature? -- what if I don't
want the new feature?

Using: MS Office Professional (Enterprise edition 2003) + Windows XP with
SR-2
