Hi,
I have frustrating a problem with a recently installation of Office 2003 PRO.
I can confirm that the product key used is from a genuine retail version.
The machine was recently upgraded from XP home to XP Pro and
after installation and successful activation of office the nag screen
continue to apear stating the copy of MS office has not been activated,
after proceding to activate I am then informed that it is already
activated.
I have deactivated the office by erasing the contents of
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\OFFICE\DATA
Then successfuly reactivated however upon reboot am again faced with the same problem.
I have also ran detect and repair on the office installation.
Below is the output from mgadiag

Hello Cheese Merchant,
In this MS KB article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/903275 the instructions call for deleting the opa11.dat file, but to not delete the opa11.bak file.
You deleted both files. I do not specifically know that deleting the opa11.bak file is the cause of your issue, but it could be. Is there an opa11.bak file now?
Perhaps a full uninstallation thru Add or Remove Programs, restarting twice, and then a clean installation will correct the situation.
If not, then I would suggest contacting Microsoft Office support for assistance with your activation issue.
