Office etc Activated but not Authenticated

Question
-
I have Office 2002/XP, Front Page 2002, Publisher 200, Viso Standard 2002 & Project 2002 installed from (what I am sure are genune) CDs that I have had since original purchase. All have been activated (confimed by checking in Help menu) but all except Project 2002 fail validation so I am unable to access some types of support. I unistalled & reinstalled all the above products but to no avail. The diganostic report follows. Can someone help please.

Stuggyduggy,
I understand the inconvenience you are currently experiencing surrounding Office activation. In turn I would like to provide the following steps to try and resolve the issue. Please follow the steps to attempt resolving this issue. Open My Computer located on your desktop
1) Go to: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\Data\
NOTE: The application data file may be hidden. Use the Tools drop down menu and follow :>Folder Options->View->Hidden Files and Folders->Show Hidden Files and Folders to show the folder. Please re-hide the files once you have completed all the steps.
2) Right click the data.dat file, then click “Delete". .
3) This data.dat file is for Office (not OGA)
4) Once the file has been deleted, open an Office application such as MS Word and “ACTIVATE” it.
5) If product activation was successful try the Office Genuine Advantage (OGA). Please launch the following link and begin the OGA process again: (this is the OGA part; Office Genuine Advantage): http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/office/Validate.aspx?displaylang=engThe following Knowledge Base Articles can provide more information for Office Activation issues:

Worked well although I did have to individually validate Front Page, Publisher, Visio & Projetc to get full authentication.
Thanks for your very prompt help.
