downgrading from Office 2003 to 2000

[HelenC]

I have absolutely had it with Office 2003. You're allowed only 3 activations.
One went on my laptop, and one on my home computer. I had to change hardware,
which triggered an activation...that was my third strike. Yesterday, my
husband rebuilt my computer, same hard drives, but this again triggered an
activation...only it won't provide me with the phone number to reactivate,
which I suspect is because it was already activated three times.

So, I uninstalled Office 2003, and reinstalled Office 2000. The only problem
is...I can't get my email, addresses, notes, etc. back. I know that Office
2003 doesn't use "pst" files. Is there anyway of recovering this critical
data??

I have absolutely had it with Office 2003. You're allowed only 3
activations.

You must be talking about the Students and Teachers Edition. You're allowed
to install it on three different systems - that's quite a different matter
from only being allowed three activations. I have Office 2003 Pro - I have
reinstalled it on my desktop six times - and have successfully reactivated
each time. I am allowed to install Pro on one desktop and one laptop,
provided they aren't in simultaneous use and will only be used by me.

One went on my laptop, and one on my home computer. I

had to change hardware, which triggered an activation...that was my
third strike. Yesterday, my husband rebuilt my computer, same hard
drives, but this again triggered an activation...only it won't
provide me with the phone number to reactivate, which I suspect is
because it was already activated three times.

Sorry, but you suspect wrong. There is some other issue here, which has
nothing to do with the amount of times it's been installed. I have upgraded
this system quite a bit (including a change of motherboard) and the
reactivation after the motherboard swap was painless and I had no problems
with the phone activation wizard. Took me all of five minutes. What happens
when you attempt to access the phone activation wizard? Do you receive an
error? What exactly happens when you click next after selecting phone
activation?

So, I uninstalled Office 2003, and reinstalled Office 2000. The only
problem is...I can't get my email, addresses, notes, etc. back. I
know that Office 2003 doesn't use "pst" files. Is there anyway of
recovering this critical data??

Shows what you know then. Office 2003 certainly does use pst files. I know
because I always save my data as a pst if I ever need to reinstall the
operating system.

Go back to Office 2000 if you like, but your reasons for doing so are
misguided, because they are completely wrong.
