Office 2008? That's a Mac version. I would suggest posting your question in
the Office for Macs newsgorup.

I purchased Office 2008 for Small Business for a laptop that recently
died -
I can't get it to boot at all - so uninstalling the software is out of the
quesiton. Is it possible to reinstall this same software from the
original
CDs on my new laptop? I've tried inserting and starting the the CD, but I
get an error stating the a file is corrupt and that I need to use the
original source or download, but this is the original source.
Thanks!
