I built my own computer a few days ago and installed Windows XP Pro (SP3).
The OS is an OEM (small biz/system builder) purchased from an online retailer (www.newegg.com) and it validates just fine with MGA Diag.
Yesterday I bought a copy of Office Home and Student 2007.
I installed it and entered the software key and got the green check mark indication indicating that the key was OK but after installation, none of the software in Office will launch . When I double click them, I get the hour glass for a second or two then nothing.
I uninstalled office and reinstalled it and I get the same problem.
The Office software is a retail package purchased from a large retailer (WalMart).
The system does not pass Office validation using the online tool.
As best I can tell, Office is not activated but I can't get any of the software in Office open to trigger the activation.
The MGA diagnostic site (http://www.microsoft.com/Genuine/diag/RunDiags.aspx?displayLang=en) shows everything as passing.
I downloaded and ran the MGA diagnostics tool. I am not given the "RESOLVE" button when it runs.
Here's the MGADT data:

Thanks Dan for the rapid response.
I am happy to report that I fixed it.
Honestly I'm not sure how though.
I believe that something kept getting corrupted during the install.
The solution that fixed everything was the result of using a restore point to go back to the point in time right before I tried the original install. That's why I think it may have been a corrupted install file or possibly an issue with a registry entry.
But... all is now OK as everything works.
It was just one of those funky gremlin things.
