Office 2k asking to reactivate after installing RAM. Why?

[qwiteqwiet01]

I just added new RAM and more usb 2.0 ports. Now when i try to use office, it
says: There has been a significant change in your machine configuration. To
continue functioning properly, and to avoid entry into reduced funcionality
mode, you must reactivate your product. To start reactivation process enter
MSO Pro CD and then click next.

So, i click next and it says preparing to install and then asks for me to
insert the disk. The problem is i dont have the disk anymore. How do i
reactivate it?

Please help!!!! Thanks.

This is Microsoft's way to blackmail you into parting away some more of
your hard earned cash to keep Uncle Bill at the same position as he is
accustomed to be in over the past year or so!!

If you don't have your Cd then tough luck because Microsoft is not in a
business to help people like you.

What happened to the disks? Do you have a friend with the exact edition of Office 2000 that you can borrow for this operation? Have you tried eBay for the exact edition?

Oh, and to the other responder, yeah, real helpful answer there... not.
