unable to edit, save or create documents in office 2003 prof

[depontefract]

I have installed Office 2003 Professional onto my new pc running windows XP
home with an Athlon 64 processor. This worked great for roughly 3 weeks. I am
now unable to edit documents in any of the Office applications, and unable to
create new documents. I can only view and print documents in any application.

I have installed all available updates, reinstalled the software completely,
performed a full virus and spyware scan but with no improvement.

Any ideas would be very well received. Maybe office 2003 doesn't work on 64
bit machines....?

Did you activate it?

Pretty sure that I activated it, but certainly can't check that now; clicking
'activate product' doesn't even bring up the dialogue box to say the product
is or isn't already activated.
