Hello,
Well, my problem happend again, even after reinstalling everything on my
computer. My MS Office 2003 products have gone into reduced functionality
mode again, and I cannot activate. The support article below (at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/295539/) is no longer there. Is there some
way I can contact someone to get this resolved?

Thanks

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.

-Stan

:

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.

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

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

could apply. I think it's better to give too much information
than
not
enough.

Good luck with getting your programs activated.

Hello,
Well, my problem happend again, even after reinstalling everything on my
computer. My MS Office 2003 products have gone into reduced functionality
mode again, and I cannot activate. The support article below (at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/295539/) is no longer there. Is there some
way I can contact someone to get this resolved?

Thanks

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.

JoAnn,

Thanks for your reply. I appreciated the fact that

informative
in the future.

Unfortunately, the solution in the "Activation Wizard does not
