    Hello Loco305,

    Your situation seems to be that you are attempting to install XP Pro onto an Acer computer using a Dell OS Reinstallation CD and Product Key.

    This is not going to work, and is a violation of the End User Licensing Agreement (EULA) for OEM licenses for Windows XP.

    Additionally, this is being reported by the mgadiag utility:
    OGA Data-->
    Office Status: 114 Blocked VLK 2
    Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 - 114 Blocked VLK 2
    Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 - 114 Blocked VLK 2

    The above means that the installation of Office 2003 Pro on the computer is a nongenuine installation due to the unauthorized use of a Volume Licensing edition and product key for Office 2003.

    Next, look on the computer itself, in the documentation you received with the computer, or with your retail purchase of Windows to see if you have a Certificate of Authenticity (CoA).  If you have one, tell us about the CoA.  Tell us:

    1.  What edition of Windows XP is it for, Home, Pro, or Media Center, or another version of Windows?

    2.  Does it read "OEM Software" or "OEM Product" in black lettering?

    3.  Or, does it have the computer manufacturer's name in black lettering?  We would expect to see "Acer" on the CoA.

    4.  DO NOT post the full Product Key that may be printed on the CoA.

    Not sure what to look for?  See this page for reference:  http://www.microsoft.com/resources/howtotell/en/coa.mspx

    Hello Loco305,

    But you can still look on the computer for the CoA, right?
