If your system is under warranty from the oem mfg, the installation of the
original software is covered. Check with your system builder if your warranty
date is valid.

My system was out of warranty, that's why I got a different (brand & chipset) motherboard in the first place.

I just saw another response that suggested that IE6 was needed. I didn't have it installed before, but it didn't made a different.

Is this a 'REAL' Office CD, or a burned one? Sounds like the manufacturer is
installing same copy on multiple PC's! Who is the manufacturer?

First, the version in question is Office Basic 2003 OEM. I recently had to
replace my motherboard. I guess there are two issues:
1. I don't know if MS will even let me re-activate, because it's an OEM
version. Only the MB has changed, but will that kill it?
2. Office activation doesn't work. The online activation fails as
expected, with the warning "you have activated up to the limit for your
Product Key." But if I try the telephone activation, the dialog just
disappears. I've completely uninstalled Office and re-installed, but the
problem remains.
