office 2002 that is activated now fails validation stating it is not activated

Question
-
Have been running office 2002 on our PC (refreshed and reloaded about 3 months ago) and it has recently come up with ms GA issue. It states it is not activated.
I go into word, excel, powerpoint, outlook and click on activate - the bloody paperclip says it already is.
To say I'm torqued that something that has been running happily for yonks now doesn't is understating it.
To also go through this elaborate diagnostic ____ makes it feel more and more like I might as well be on linux if I want to put up with the sort of technical ____.
here is the MGA output.Diagnostic Report (1.9.0006.1):

Hello Sttmz,
Thank you for visiting the Office Genuine Advantage (OGA) program forum. Your issue appears to be outside the scope of the OGA program forum. In an attempt to assist I would like to provide the following:
Open My Computer located on your desktop.
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 do the following: 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.
Right click data.dat file, then click Delete.
The data.dat file is for Office, Not OGA.
Once the file has been deleted, open an Office application such as MS Word and activate it.
If product activation was successful try the Office Validation located here:
