Activated XP Standard keeps showing up as Unactivated

I am trying to install the pdf plug-ins with the Publisher 2007 upgrade I
just installed, but when prompted to validate, I keep getting the message
that my version of Office XP Standard has not be activated and Microsoft Word
2002 has not been activated. These both came pre-installed on my Dell PC
back when I first bought it in 2002. They were both activated then and I have
used them for years.

I even went through the COA certification steps at Microsoft and was assured
that I am using genuine software. I do not know what else to do. I only
bought the Publisher upgrade so I could easily convert my Publisher files to
pdf, and yet, that is the very thing I cannot do!

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
