WinXP Repair deactivates Office XP
« on: October 19, 2003, 12:23:42 AM »
I had to do a repair of my WinXP (legit) because I had to replace a motherboard and add a new harddrive.  Now my Office XP (legit) is asking me to reactivate the product.  

As a teacher, I often times modify my hardware according to what I am teaching my students.  When I added an Intel P4 processor and motherboard, as well as a 20gb drive, I am asked to reactivate Office XP.  This little problem was a bit embarassing in front of my students. http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':unsure:\' />

I used MS Knowledgebase article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;EN-US;315341 to do a reinstall of WinXP.  Nothing is mentioned about dealing with a reactivation of Office XP.

Anyone know where I can go to get this resolved?  

Thanks in advance!  http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':(\' />

You can follow the following procedure..
When it ask for reactivation press next button..
It will ask for the path of proplus.msi which is always stored in the office xp setup directory or u can say the directory in which u have copy the cd of office xp. This will start progress bar. After finishing it will ask u to restart office. Just do it. Now u will not be prompted again to reactivate it.
If u have still problem. Then mail me at miloabhiEmail Removed
