Office Genuine Advantage no longer accepts new Office XP as genuine.

I have a home-built Pentium D 950 machine running XP Pro SP2. 3 weeks ago I installed a new Office XP (with SP1) upgrade, registered and activated Word and Excel from the Office Update site. I was able to download and install SP2 and SP3 for Office XP as well as a number of security updates. Everything worked fine, so I uninstalled the superseded Office 2000. 3 days ago, my machine developed a problem, and to cure it I decided to do a system restore back to the start of a period in which I had installed a number of large and small programs which might have contributed to the startup problems. Unfortunately Office XP was among these. The Restore worked fine, and I've now installed Office XP again, the only difference being that I was asked for the CD of the previous Office installation, and I only had a back-up copy. Word 2002 and Excell 2002 work fine and showed they have been registered and activated. But the Office Update site will not allow me access to updates, it does not accept Office XP as genuine, though 3 weeks ago it did both.

I have found helpful suggestions, inter alia on microsoft.com/en-us/help, and /axinstall, and in several forums, and followed their advice and have checked update.microsoft.com, download.windowsupdate.com, office.microsoft.com, and windowsupdate.com sites are in my IE7 list of trusted sites, I've deleted all off-line content from IE7's Tools | Internet Options | General tab, and checked that all the Active X programs are enabled. Having found in forums.microsoft.com/genuine/showpost.aspx?postid-597771&siteid=25 a useful list of a diagnostic sequence, I have confirmed that my Win XP is genuine, using microsoft.com/genuine/diag/Rundiags.aspx, and run the MGA diagnostics tool from go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012, which reported :

Hi, Steven,

Thanks for your informative and helpful response. Using msicuu2.exe worked perfectly, and I appear to be past the hurdles, without needing the PKU update tool. At the end of the following MGADiag.exe report, I've added a suggestion which you might like to consider. If you need any clarification, please contact me.

Thank you again,

Comync

Note: It appears that the MGADiag.exe system design is (logically) reporting on the status of
the preferred browser (Firefox). I suspect that at least my earlier problems resulted from my
well-intentioned use of IE7 whenever accessing Microsoft web sites, as I have found that printing
MS-site web pages from Firefox does not give completely reliable results. In my case, it was only

by analysing the Diagnostic report that I checked on the IE7 | Internet Options | Trusted Sites |

Custom Level | and set all the ActiveX-relevant items to either Enable or Prompt that I started

avoiding the erratic genuine/non-genuine situation and consequent re-visiting of trouble-shooting

pages.
Could I suggest that this possibility might be avoided by a suggestion that a user experiencing
problems with OGA or WGA should confirm that Internet Explorer be used (at least until the problem
is resolved) to assist Support in diagnosing just what is happening ?
