Office 2002: Product Activition

B

I installed a DVD player, and later attempted to use Word in Office
2002...and the product activation message comes up:

"This command is not available because the document is locked for
edit."

So, I inserted Office CD for product activation, but computer is
checking the "A" drive, not the "D" drive.

Dam, anyone know where in the registry this drive assignment is?

Many thanks...REALLY !!!

Not an Office question. I would trying suggest the newsgroup for your OS.

I know how to change drive assignments, like this:

Office is expecting the CD on Drive A....this is where it is searching

I've googled this question....with no luck.

thanks for the effort...but does anyone know on XP registry?

That's why I suggested asking in a Windows newsgroup. You'll find MVPs there
who know Windows inside and out.

No cigars there...so I did a Clean XP/Office Install....

I researched this question before asking...it does not show up
answered....I ran into this problem in 95/98 era, and found the
answer.

It's within a registry key...but which one is the problem.

Changing Drive Assignments is a piece of cake in Win-XP, but when a
program expects the CD to be on A:Drive instead of a D:Drive, then
something in the registry got twitched.

It's a waste of hours to do a clean install, but you got to do what
you got to do...wasted 6 hours or so, by the time you get it back
together.

thanks anyway...

A wild guess here -- backup your registry first -- then look for keys like
InstallSource and change the data. I've had to change mine from D:\ to
W:\[FolderName]\
