OfficeXP ... something weird...

Hello guys.!

We have Microsoft Office XP installed on our WinXP workstations and we are having a problem now.!
We installed OfficeXP as local machine administrators and all went well. After we finished, we logged out and tried to log in to the domain with a normal account. We could test office with this account and it gave us the Windows Installer with the message:

"windows is installing some components ... bla bla bla"

but in the end Office applications started,!

All was well until last week.
Now, any user can access the computer but when they try to get to MS Word or Excel, etc, they get greeted with the same windows installer message but now IT ASKS FOR A CD (Office XP cd).

The weird thing is that if you log in locally and then log in to the domain, this problem doesn't occur!!!!

What the heck is happening?
Is it space related problems?
Is it permission problems?

Do your domain users have to change passwords every so often? The local account is always the same, if the password changes on the domain accounts, it may cause some problems.

Yeah.
Domain users need to change the passwords every 21 or 27 days.
But this wasn't happening a while back!?!?!?!
