I recently purchased a new computer that came with Win 2000 professional, and I 
am having a problem understanding why I can't get word, excel, etc to work 
under another name.  It will work under administration, but I get an error code 
under my user name before word will launch.  Error 1706. No valid source could 
be found for product Microsoft Office 2000 SR-1 Small Business.  The Windows 
installer cannot continue. I have searched and searched the microsoft website, 
but I am at a loss to understand all the techno mumble jumble that is so 
different from Win98SEI do have SR-1a and I keep trying to install it but it 
keeps saying it is already installed.  Word works fine under administration, 
but error code under user names ..... how do I fix this..... Please tell me 
like I am a 2 year old, because today, I feel like it.  Just to let you know, I 
have been on the microsoft website for about 2.5 hours now, I have found info 
that refers to this, but I don't know what the windows installer is or if that 
even applies to me.......Is there something I can read that will tell me in 
plain English what I should be doing here?  I have been able to figure most 
everything else out here along the way....but not this and this problem is at 
least 6 weeks old now.  this is getting old and tiring really quick.Thanks for 
all your help Darla
