Question
-
On office startup, popup says office has not been activated, but Help->Activate product says "has already been activated". How do I get rid of this annoying pop-up? This has started happening a few weeks ago, after an update to the Genuine Validation system by Windows Update.
System Tools->Activate Windows says "Windows is already activated".

Hello D_a_n,
When longtime installations of Office 2003 and especially Office XP suddenly report that they are not genuine and don't know if they are activated or not, that is an indicator that the Office XP License file has been damaged or corrupted.
Please run the MS FixIt in Method 2 of this MS KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/903275
After running the FixIt and if necessary re-activating Office, please restart the computer and go to www.microsoft.com/genuine and click on Validate Office. Office should validate normally and you should no longer see any nongenuine notices.
The FixIt almost always takes care of the problem. Post back to let us know if it worked for you.
