Hi I'm new to XP Home. My office package works fine in administrator accounts but if I limit the accounts for my children Word etc. refuses to run. Keeps ascking for product key. When given Begins to install then closes. On start up asks for the product key again

I don't believe Microsoft would be so short sighted to not enable office programs to run in limited user accounts

Thankyou.
 
See if taking the steps in the following article help:

“How to re-register Word when problems crop up opening files†at:
