sirshank said:I had a retail version of Office 2003 Professioanl installed on two
computers.
The first computer is desktop and the second a laptop.
The harddrive on the laptop became corrupted and I subsequently had to
install a new hard drive.
I was able to re-install Windows XP using the restore CD that came with
the
laptop.
Once you start your installation, at the point where it tells you it is anIs there anyway to get the phone number so that I can complete the
installation? or is there some other way to get around the invalid key
message so that I can properly activate the product?
Any assistance that I can get with this matter will be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks
invalid key, the phone number to call should appear at that time. Keep your
laptop with you by the phone and the Microsoft operator will give you a
valid key once you tell her the circumstances. Enter the new key while she
is still on the phone, to make sure you got it right. Word quit working
because basically you aborted your installation by not entering a valid key
at the necessary time.
I have done this several times with different Microsoft products. The last
time I was totally surprised at having to do reactivate my copy of WindowsXP
when I simply installed different drivers for my video card. Anyway, it
only takes a few minutes.
