Microsoft Office 200 Standard

I'm having trouble with my computer. I have had MO 2000 on my computer for years - no problem - then, I loaded One Care and keep getting messages that MO cannot work because it's expired. I went through the process of retyping my Product Key into the computer (answering the prompts) and got the message that my product key was invalid. What the heck is this? I need to continue using MO with my schooling and am becoming very frustrated!

Thank you to anyone who can help me!

I can't imagine that OneCare had anything to do with that, but anything is possible with computers.
What I find odd is that Office 2000 reports being expired since it isn't a subscription product.
I suggest that you contact Office support - start here: http://support.microsoft.com/ph/2484
Note that Office 2000 support ends in July - http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifeoffice
You probably should consider getting Office 2007 Student Teacher edition - often available for around $100.
You can also pursue this with OneCare support if you believe that it was the cause:
