Office xp students teachers

[Muneeb Hai]

My computer has been acting up recently, and I was thinking
that it was about time to format my hard drive and
reinstall everything for a fresh start anyway. But Office
has been through adventure on this computer: When it was
new, with nothing except Windows on the hard drive, I
bought Office XP for students and teachers. I installed it,
but later on, MSN Explorer screwed the computer up so badly
that the easiest way of fixing it was to wipe the drive and
start again. When I was installing Office again fresh, it
told me that my copy had already been registered. But the
hard drive format had deleted it. I told the people on the
tech support line what had happened and they gave me the
code to reactivate it. Will they tell me, a year later,
that I might be installing it on another computer, and not
give me the code? I don't want to spend a hundred bucks on
another copy.

Try it and see. The activation folks are surprisingly friendly and no one
that I know has reported a problem except for one person who had to
repeatedly format and install.

I don't think you will have any problem. This is the new
way they are doing it. I have been troubleshooting my
computer and reinstalling stuff several times. I have
replaced stuff and each time, I have to start all over.
Every time I have called them, they ask what is the
purpose and I explain that I had replace stuff and had to
reinstall office again. They just give me a new number
each time. No problem. They have been very nice.
