i have office student edition 2003. now recently theres been a few viruses
and damaged hardware leading to several re-installs.
this last time the harddrive was saved, but after replacing the
motherboard/cpu when i run any office product it tells me it has to be
activated.
i go to activate online and it tells me ive activated too many times so i
have to activate by phone.
but here's the kicker, if i choose activate by phone and click next, the
activation window closes, no error, no eventvwr message, it just goes back to
my locked office product that i cant use.
i have tried dectect and repair, reinstall... and a complete uninstall /
install. i still get this error.
the only issue with the machine i can see is that the computer browser
service is stopped and will not start, giving the error:
"the computer browser service started then stopped. some services stop
automatically if they have no work to do... etc etc."
help?!?!
