If Office XP is retail version, you can install or renstall on as many machines as you wish provided not all of them are used simultaneously. There is no need to uninstall from the old machine!. Activation is normally automatic if you are reinstalling after 120 days of the first installation via internet. Otherwise, you will need to activate by phone. I suggest read this article first:

Hope this proves useful.

try and call MS, here: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=823570

If you have your Office CD in the CD drive and point the installer to it
when it asks, does it help?

What is the original problem that you are trying to fix in Outlook? Perhaps
all of this is unnecessary?

YES. It looks like the links on the desktop have disappeared so do a search for the following:

1) Excel.exe
2) Frontpg.exe
3) MSAccess.exe
4) Outlook.exe
5) PowerPnt.exe
6) WinWord.exe

Just right-click on these and select create a shortcut on Desktop!! Or simply look for MSOFFICE.EXE and run it and it will create a shortcup toolbar in Office XP Professional. Office 2003 does not have this and so there is no point in buying this!

I find it difficult to comprehend Office can be deleted so easily. Uncle Bill does not like his progs to be dumped easily for substitutes such as WordPerfect Office!!

Did that "someone" format the hard drive? If sothen don't waste time searching for anything but get hold of original CDs and/or use restore CDs supplied by your PC vendor.

Hope this helps.

You can get this from your existing computer by using the pirating tool supplied by Micky Mouse Stevens {M$ MVP - Lier) called ViewKey. Just do a search for ViewKey and ee what you get on the internet. Failure this, you need to contact Uncle Bill's Office in your country who can help you out. Failure this, you need to get pirated keys from here:

http://www.serialarchive.com

All this info is supplied by Micky Mouse Stevens on other newsgroups. He is the sole supplier of pirating tools for M$ products in the world.

Hope this helps.

How do I transfer all e-mail data to new computer?

Posted: 22 Oct 2004 08:55 AM PDT

I would make use of Uncle Bill's File & Settings Transfer Wizard and you access this as follows:

Start, All Programs, Accessories, Systems Tools, Files and Settings Transfer Wizard

This is fine if your old/current computer is already running XP. If not then you need to run this from the Windows XP CD (which you should get with your new PC) on your old PC and follow the instructions.

Then in the new machine, again use the same thing but this time select that "this is a new PC" or something similar to import the data.

If you don't get a CD with the new PC then you are wasting your money as a PC without the actual CDs {of all preloaded software} is useless!!!

I would always rely on Uncle Bill's programs as these must be working otherwise he can't make money!!

Hope this helps.
Micky {Mouse} Stevens [MS-MVP] is a lier and I wouldn't buy a second hand car from him!!

Before I set up 2003, lingering 2000 problem

Posted: 21 Oct 2004 11:35 AM PDT

Hi, Ariel. It's good that you read the instructions. I wouldn't try
the utility with Windows XP; it might work just fine, or it might mess
up your Office installation to the point where you have to uninstall and
reinstall. I think your approach of fixing old problems before
upgrading is a good one. But now that you've already upgraded twice and
are about to do it a third time, and as the annoyance doesn't seem to be
adversely affecting how Office is working, and since you don't want to
do a clean install, I'd say it's probably better to let sleeping dogs
lay.
