Or,
Do this!! Sorry Millie, but it works; and it's from MSFT themselves.
A KB from MSFT-don't worry about the title just follow the instructions at the bottom. Works great

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/925098/
Even though its for terminal services;if you follow the instructions;at
the bottom-problem solved!! Just follow the resolution instructions; I
used the 2nd method; worked great!!!!

Here's a small problem I don't think anyone mentioned yet. Once yo
convert your outlook pst file to 2007 format, YOU CAN'T GO BACK becaus
the formats are not compatible and export feature of 2007 is not workin
yet. So if you were really stupid like me and made no backup, you'r
really screwed by Microsoft not giving sh!t about activation servers
Its sad, but i had to resort to keeping outlook open 24/7 because
only have 2 more runs left. I never turn my computer off anyway, bu
this sucks..
