Office XP Reactivation Problem

I am having a problem with Office XP. I am running under Win XP Home. I made
a change to the registry to try to completely remove a program that I had
installed and then removed. After that, whenever I start any Office XP
Professional application the office reactivation wizard appears and tells me
that they have noticed that I have made a significant change to my
computer's system configuration. It requests that I insert the original
Office XP CD, which I have done, and then the Activation Wizard trys to
reactivate my installation, but it doesn't. It stops, and I have found that
all Office XP applications are running in a restricted functionality mode.

How do I reactivate Office XP Professional with FrontPage? I have tried to
uninstall Office XP and then reinstall it. Now I can't even uninstall it
anymore. I don't really want to have to reinstall Windows XP and start all
over again. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
BobV
