    Office 2003 pro won't install
    I'm trying to install office pro 2003 on my laptop from a new cd. When I enter the product key and click OK it doesn't do anything. I put the cd in my desktop and entered the key and when I clicked OK it said preparing to install. I clicked cancel. Why won't it work on my laptop?

    If that doesn't work. Open task manager and end Explorer.exe

    Click Brows and run the setup from the CD.

    On my 2003 CD I have a Setup.exe and SetupPro.exe.
    Run both if you'd like...
