How you set the user level depends on your version of Windows. That article is
specifically for NT4 and Windows 2000. If you have multiple logons for the PC, you need
someone logon as the administrator to change your security level.

Activating Word 2002

Posted: 11 Mar 2005 02:15 AM PST

also see if this helps...
Activate by Using the Telephone
If you do not have Internet connectivity or you choose not
to activate Office by using the Internet, you can select the
Activate by using the telephone option. To activate your
product this way, start any of the Office programs, and then
follow these steps: 1. In the Office Activation Wizard,
select the Activate by using the telephone option, and then
click Next.
2. Read the Microsoft Office Privacy Policy page, and
then click Next.
3. In the Select your location list, choose a
country/region. Call the telephone number that is listed in
step 2 in the wizard. The customer service agent asks you
for the installation ID and gives you a confirmation ID in
return. Type the confirmation ID in the boxes that are
provided.

NOTE: Make a note of the confirmation ID provided by
the customer service agent. You may be able to reuse the
confirmation ID on the same computer if you have to reformat
your hard disk and reinstall Office in the future. If the
confirmation ID does not work at that time, call the
customer service agent again, and request a new confirmation
ID.
4. Click Next. The Activation Complete page appears,
including the date on which your license expires.
5. On the Activation Complete page, click Finish.

MS Works freezes

Posted: 08 Mar 2005 08:25 PM PST

Thanks for responding.

I have updated the printer driver in the past (HP). I had not considered
that possiblity however. The video driver from my computer manufacturer is
version prior to the one I downloaded from MS update, but still a ProSavage
driver. I am going to paste a more thorough description of my system for you
and others now:

"When I go into MS Works version 6.0,then tools and try to change the font
in envelopes, the dropdown freezes. Other selections can also do the same and
the program crashes. Sometimes Tool Manager can shut down Works, sometimes
only pulling the plug will turn off the computer. In December 2004 I had no
problem, but I have no restore point that far back.

Installed MS Service pak 2. All Critical Updates up to date.

75% free drive space. 512 RAM. Windows XP home edition factory installed.

Sometimes a virtual memory ballon appeared indicating more virtual memory
is needed, but not while using Works. I have since allocated more space for
that, but it did not help.

No other functional problems.

I use ZAFirewall,AVG antivirus,ewido security
suite,bazooka,WinPatrol,SpyBlaster,Ie-spyad,CWShredder,Ad-Aware SE by
LavaSoft, Stinger,SysClean,SpyBot Search&Destroy. No malware detected in
scans.

Is my video driver suspect? or what? Hardware acceleration is set at
minimum. Defraggmented weekly in SafeMode. When crash occurs CPU use is
100%. Temp files and recycle bin emptied daily. No disk errors or fixes by
Chkdsk found.

Works & XP problem

Posted: 07 Mar 2005 07:07 PM PST

Hi John,

I have only used Works 6.0.

Is Works 4 better then newer versions? Reading previous post in this news
group the answer seems to be yes, they say all versions of Works above
version 4.5 are a down grade.

At the download site...
http://www.microsoft.com/products/works/downloads.mspx#EnglishY2K

There is a Year 2000 Update, it's a 2.89 MB download, seem to recall it
fixes a lot of problems other then year 2000. Think it updates the program
to version 4.5a. Perhaps it might help with your existing problems.

Works 6.0 includes it's Works Word Processor

I have Works Suite 2001, it includes Works 6.0 with it's Works Word
Processor and Microsoft Word Processor.

Thanks Ken,

I downloaded the 'Mail Merg Patch' from that site but still have the
problem. Can you please tell me why I can find no reference to WORD
PROCESSOR in Works 6? Works 4 has database, spreadsheet and word processor -
when I try to open my Works 4 WP document (an invoice I made to print from
database) it only asks me which program and the only one that will open it
is 'WORD' and then it does not have any of the original connections to the
database.

I have both versions 4 and 6 installed and if you say the 4 is as good as 6
I will uninstall the 6 and try to find help on my problems with 4
disappearing whenever it feels like it.

Works-2004 - Install Streets & Trips data?

Posted: 07 Mar 2005 01:37 AM PST

Hello Ken:

Thanks for the help it worked when I used the Custom Install but with a
glitch. When the program started installing the data it stopped mid way with
an Error Message stating that it could not find a file with a choice to
retry, ignore or close. I hit retry several times and then realized that the
file must be on the data CD or Work's disk 5. In put in disk 5 hit retry and
it installed all the data. Everything works just fine. Microsoft should
have done a better job; instead of there being an error message it should
state "Please insert disk 5 and press the continue button [instead of retry]
This would be consistant with the rest of the Works program.
Thanks again for your help

It might be due to the type of account you have. Is it "Limited" or
"Administrator"? I think only the latter works.

Thanks Ken. I uninstalled Works again: then searched for that file,including
in Hidden files and nothing came up in the search results: then reinstalled
Works. For a start the same problem was still there, and now I couldn't
open
the Portfolio either- so reinstalled Works again over the top and it seems
to
be Ok now, touch wood.
Thanks for your help
