Office Activation

[Mysery Meat]

Sure JoAnn, here is a recap:

My copy of Office 2003 Student and Teacher Edition never asked if I wanted
to activate after I installed it. I'm in the U.S. and I'm running Windows XP
MCE.

Now it has gone into "Reduced Functionality Mode" and when I click "help >
activate product" nothing happens. No error messages or any other info. I
don't get any info on how to activate. I've seen many postings here with an
answer of "call the activation number." I would call, but my Office product
won't tell me how.

Another user told me of an article
(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=823527 "Activation Wizard does not start
in Office 2003") to try, but it did not help. I tried deleting the file it
said and restarting the program, but it did not help.

I'm also experiencing problems with Windows Media Player. It is taking up
all my CPU time when playing any files. Could the two problems be related??

I know there is an activation phone number somewhere, but because my
activation wizard does not start, I can't get it. Is there some way I can get
the phone number elsewhere?

Thanks again.

-Stan.

Apparently it's been a little while since I sent that and I've deleted the
other parts of this thread. Can you give me a brief reminder of the problem?

JoAnn,

Thanks for your reply. I appreciated the fact that Garfield-n-odie's
responded, just not the way he did it. I'll try to be a bit more
informative
in the future.

Unfortunately, the solution in the "Activation Wizard does not start in
Office 2003" did not work.

I'm running Windows XP MCE, and have Office 2003 Student and Teacher
edition
(U.S.).

I'm also experiencing problems with Windows Media Player. It is taking
up
all my CPU time when playing any files. Could the two problems be
related??

I know there is an activation phone number somewhere, but because my
activatio wizard does not start, I can't get it. Is there some way I
can
get
the phone number elsewhere?

I'd appreciate any other avenues anyone has for fixing this problem.
I'm
sick of not being able to use my Office software.

You
can't just say "I don't feel well." You need to tell us as much as you
think
could apply. I think it's better to give too much information than not
enough.

Good luck with getting your programs activated.

JoAnn,

Thanks for your reply. I appreciated the fact that Garfield-n-odie's
responded, just not the way he did it. I'll try to be a bit more
informative
in the future.

Unfortunately, the solution in the "Activation Wizard does not start
in
Office 2003" did not work.

I'm running Windows XP MCE, and have Office 2003 Student and Teacher
edition
(U.S.).

I'm also experiencing problems with Windows Media Player. It is
taking
up
all my CPU time when playing any files. Could the two problems be
related??

I know there is an activation phone number somewhere, but because my
activatio wizard does not start, I can't get it. Is there some way I
can
get
the phone number elsewhere?

I'd appreciate any other avenues anyone has for fixing this problem.
I'm
sick of not being able to use my Office software.

You
can't just say "I don't feel well." You need to tell us as much as
you
think
could apply. I think it's better to give too much information than
not
enough.

Good luck with getting your programs activated.

Sure JoAnn, here is a recap:

My copy of Office 2003 Student and Teacher Edition never asked if I wanted
to activate after I installed it. I'm in the U.S. and I'm running Windows
XP
MCE.

Now it has gone into "Reduced Functionality Mode" and when I click "help >
activate product" nothing happens. No error messages or any other info. I
don't get any info on how to activate. I've seen many postings here with
an
answer of "call the activation number." I would call, but my Office
product
won't tell me how.

Another user told me of an article
(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=823527 "Activation Wizard does not
start
in Office 2003") to try, but it did not help. I tried deleting the file it
said and restarting the program, but it did not help.

I'm also experiencing problems with Windows Media Player. It is taking up
all my CPU time when playing any files. Could the two problems be
related??

informative
in the future.

Unfortunately, the solution in the "Activation Wizard does not start
in
Office 2003" did not work.

I'm running Windows XP MCE, and have Office 2003 Student and Teacher
edition
(U.S.).

I'm also experiencing problems with Windows Media Player. It is
taking
up
all my CPU time when playing any files. Could the two problems be
related??

I know there is an activation phone number somewhere, but because my
activatio wizard does not start, I can't get it. Is there some way I
can
get
the phone number elsewhere?

I'd appreciate any other avenues anyone has for fixing this problem.
I'm
sick of not being able to use my Office software.

Think of posting in a public newsgroup like talking to a new
doctor.
You
can't just say "I don't feel well." You need to tell us as much as
you
think
could apply. I think it's better to give too much information than
not
enough.

Good luck with getting your programs activated.
