[NLRS] Office 2003 Missing File

[Chris]

I have a Compaq nc6000 laptop that I picked up and of
course as things get used they get worn out and lost.
This begins the issue.

I currently have Office 2003 installed on one of my
laptops and it wants to update to Service Pack 3,
which I am all for.... 

However, It claims it needs the CD in order to
complete these updates. I have tried in vain for about
a month now for a work around to this. All information
online states the CD is in fact required to commence
the update with one very elusive file.

I have Office XP with a valid Product ID Number,
however that again is a step backwards from Office
2003 and does not contain the file needed to move
forward with the update. 

Many hours have been spent fruitlessly searching the
net for said file and everywhere I look it is not
available except on the original CD....  It will not
do SP1, SP2, SP3 without that file found only on that
disk. Seeing a pattern here? lol

I have a valid Product ID for Office 2003, yet no
recovery disks were shipped the laptop when I bought
it used. 

I also have a valid Product ID for Office XP Which I
have helped out plenty of other users by supplying
them  with what they needed to get up and running.

What it comes down to is I am looking for an original
or burned back up copy of the Office 2003 CD at a
minimum.

I would also be interested in a newer copy of Office
as well as long as it is higher than Microsoft Office
Home and Student 2007.

Ideally if a burned copy from a place of employment
were to appear complete with Product ID Numbers and
other items to assure full operation a copy of
Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007, I would be
appreciative.

I would be appreciative for Windows Office 2003 or
higher above the academic edition of Microsoft Office
Home and Student 2007.

I will DOWNLOAD A CLEAN COPY of any of the
aforementioned versions which has yet to be virus free
or anything more than trial wear, which is simply not
acceptable.

If anyone can help me out with this 2003 problem or
even better it as per discussed I will be extremely
indebted to the individual.

Now I know that there is a lot of this available on
the IRC chat networks, and I am not above going there.
I just have not went that deep past the virus kiddie
scripts etc...

Any help for this, even if it is a understandable push
in the right direction that can allow me to be
successful at accomplishing my own tasks and finding
what I need om my own, I will be eternally indebted as
well. 

Thank you for your time and effort to try to help me
out with this small but irritating issue.

However, if all you have is backlash about my attempts
to procure software, then save the bandwidth and do
not respond. Sorry for sounding so crass, but I have
been trying to up Office 2003 for about 5 months with
every avenue exhausted or I would not even waste the
bandwidth myself asking for that and possible more.
