Can't reactivate?

[Howard]

Just reformatted and reinstalled Office 2003, and it says I can't reactivate
it I'm passed my limit. I've only activated it one or time, so I tried the
phone #'s list to call and both said they are disconnected.

1-866-542-3062 and 509-895-1135

the numbers can likely
be found at microsoft.com

maybe google the numbers you
have to see if the new numbers
are produced in the results...

Hmm ok I guess for some reason their 866 # doesn't work with cell phones,
when I tried my regular landline it worked.

The guy on the phone told me every microsoft product only has 1 online
activation and each time you do it after you need to call? Is this new I
thought most have at least 5. Some of us format our Pc,s every few months,
now I'm stuck calling to reinstall Windows XP and Office. Its more of a pain
to reformat now then ever.

unfortunately, i feel your pain.

try your best to avoid the hassle.
disk imaging at this point is an excellent
idea, since it would replace any future
manual re installs with all of the softwares
you have.

try driveimage xml software in combination with
barts pe and the driveimage xml pluggin in for
it can be a helpful start...

If you are reformatting your PC every few months, you may want to
consider changing the way you maintain the PC.
