STOP LIMITING REINSTALLS UNTIL WINDOWS XP PRO REGISTRY NOT CORRU.

[Parallax]

With a limited number of uses of the key code on Word2003 upgrade, everytime
I have to reinstall it because of a corrupted registry (windows XP
Pro.....formatting wipes the disk), I have to get voice activation. This
makes me feel like a "criminal" trying to cheat Microsoft, which I am not
doing. It is also tedious and time consuming.

Microsoft needs a better way than this....at least until they develop, if
ever, a truly stable OS.

Nice rant but we're a peer-to-peer support group. Do you have a
question on Word specifically?

I've not experienced a registry corruption since installing Win XPP
work-wide. I've use WinXPP since beta and haven't had a registry corruption.
Without doubt, WinXPP is VERY robust and mostly self-healing. Don't you
think it is something wrong with your system or something that you may be
doing wrong? Don't blame Windows for every ailment: it is nearly always
third party software or a badly written driver that causes the problems.
