Are you testing under different users? Usually this will occur the first time you run an office application on a Win2k machine for the first time. Let it complete with the appropriate media and it should not happen any more.
If you have room i would have office installed on a network drive and allow it to be referenced as a network install instead of a local that way it one removes the option of having to carry the CD or Cancel out, as jhance stated there is most likely a tool that office needs on the first time ran for that profile on each system.
