Lost Office after joining Domain

Joined pc to domain creating new user/profile which was different then previous user(also administrator).

Copied all icons, my docs, fav's etc. from administrator to the new user. All applications work fine except for the MS Office Premium apps. They want the install disk every time you want to open one of the apps, looking for a data1 file.

The files in my docs of new user when viewed by browsing my docs all seem to be associated correctly. But when you try to open one you get the cd prompt.

Cancelling out of the cd prompt opens the application.

When trying to open a file from my docs once an application is finally open, the files all appear to have lost their associations.

When receiving an email attachment, unable to open doc directly, told default application not available, have to detach and then open by other means.

Along with joining domain, installed Outlook 2003 and do not want to mess with that installation.

New user was added to administrators group and has full permissions on drive.

Any ideas on getting the Office app's to work normally?

thanks
