OGA Problem With Activation (One Last Try)

Question
-
Any help? This is extremely frustrating. I'm glad the data.dat deletion works for most people, but it didn't work for me. All office products say they are activated, I've checked every one I can find. I've done the deletion of the data.dat file and then reactivating more times than I can count. I've tried activating publisher 2002 first, then office xp, and vice versa.
Still, only OGA says there is an activation problem. All the products say they are activated and they are not in restricted use mode. I've posted the latest diagnosic results but have received no helpful information. I'm giving the results again just in case they were missed last time.
Previous posts of mine will show steps I've taken, but it seems if it doesn't work the first time, the user is subsequently ignored. I realize that the people helping are probably not paid for this, but who wants to be overcharged for what is a microsoft problem?
Is there a site which will explain or decode the diagnostic results? I've just about had it with microsoft after being a loyal fan since before the IBM PC came out.
Thanks, Daniel R. Rhodes

With little thanks to those here who ignored my problem, I managed to find a solution anyway.
It turns out that the OGA validator is so poorly written it assumes the data.dat is in the microsoft sheep pen of "C:\documents and settings". As I explained at least twice, this machine started as a DOS 386 machine and has been upgraded through almost every version of windows up to win2k and many versions of office. My data.dat was in another subdirectory. Merely creating the sheep pen location and copying the data.* files into it allowed me to pass validation.
Hopefully this information will help someone else down the road.
I'm fed up with microsoft and the directions it has been heading. I already use linux for all my server applications, it's time to move to linux workstations as well.
No thanks,

Daniel,
The operating system which you have does not require validation.
