| General question regarding activation Posted: 14 Dec 2005 05:36 PM PST Ron, The 120 days is from an Article (about Windows XP) by late Alex Nichol, MS-MVP. Have a look here: http://aumha.org/win5/a/wpa.php#howlong I assume the same rules apply about other retail products. OEM reinstall on the same system always require telephone activation as piracy seems to be on the increase with these types of CDs. As far as I know, the Retail Version of any products can be moved to any systems provided it is first uninstalled from the first system. However, it is your word against Microsoft's and nobody is going to come to your house to check you have done what you claim to have done. It is a question of trust. As far as MS support is concerned, they are required to continue support for at least 10 years after first release of the product. After that nobody knows what happens but it is likely that a patch may be issued to avoid activation once the support has ceased. MS can't continue to have a database of people's products installation for ever. The cost comes into the equation whether to have a database permanently or not. Office XP was release in 2002 and so by the time 2012 comes, people would have stopped using their XP product - at least this is the theory! I still use some DOS products and Windows 98SE! But hen I am eccentric! hth Ron wrote: |
| Office 2003, Custom Installation Wizard, MST Posted: 14 Dec 2005 11:10 AM PST Tom, I haven't tried the Custom Maintenance Wizard, but from looking at it, it would seem that it would defeat the purpose of me deploying the install through Group Policy because I would then need to visit the stations to run the Maintenance file. I think I might contact Microsoft directly and have them explain to me why the .MST file is being ignored. If I get anywhere, I will certainly post an answer to this thread for others. Thanks for your time, Troy. |

| Posted: 13 Dec 2005 08:23 AM PST PhotoDraw works on some WinXP machines, but doesn't work on others. PhotoDraw is a discontinued product, and Microsoft no longer supports it. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=250833 "PhD1: Error Message: Unable to Start the Application" and http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=318924 "Photodraw 2000 Causes an Error Message in Windows XP".

| Office XP User / registration information incorrect on Citrix XP server Posted: 12 Dec 2005 02:15 PM PST You can also do it at the command line but yes. installing an application from add/remove programs puts the server into install mode as well.

| Change name of Exchange Server in admin install of Office.... Posted: 12 Dec 2005 02:07 PM PST Hello "Neo" I will look into editing the .prf file, but I think your suggestion to use a DNS alias is simply brilliant, and I am kicking myself for not having thought of it. Thanks a million! Mr. Anderson :-) "neo [mvp outlook]" wrote: |

We don't have our computer set up for multiple users so I don't know why that file wouldn't be there. I did a search for the OPA11.DAT file too and couldn't find it. What should I do? |
| NO Activation wizard, driving me mad..... can't activate Office 20 Posted: 11 Dec 2005 06:36 AM PST Snap! Exactly same problems as you. Where's that damned wizard. Will let you know if I resolve it. I bought a PC with student teacher 2003 trial preinstalled - never gave me an option to activate when I first started an Office application otherwise I would have. No link available on the Help menu - nothing happens when you click Activate. I then uninstalled the trial version and installed a proper retail Student Teacher version that I'd bought. It is still in reduced functionality. No way of activating. "prawnie" wrote: |

Very honored friend, You have now just the probably best chance of your life to earn really quickly and very much money in the internet. Because of the speed, the lucrative get into-possibility and the idea this draft will overtake already soon other programs in internet. This program is so newly that once enough time was not, to announce my characteristic experiences to you. For it concerns here speed and time to participate in this program. This special business-idea is in this size , combination and dynamics the single money salary-program in the internet, that you with your only unique participation a LIFELONG INCOME Secures. With that participate in becomes this program your life itself the positive change. This business functions. You need only your enamel-address to the participation Growth prognosis: In the coming years, the internet of one of the largest "employers" will be and you salary with your Downline/customer structure strongly with! All that, that are now from the beginning at the same time and advocate the construction of many customers and distribution partners , will harvest over many, many years the fruits of its intelligent decision. We wish all participants the expanse visibility that jewel to recognize by business-opportunity and to earn to participate actively in the guaranteed success of THIS special program and on that, and that worldwide. This businessrecommends or business friends to also your friends , acquaintance, working colleagues. That is the CHANCE OF YOUR LIFE. Quickly - Secure - simply - brilliantly! PayPal has today over 78 million customers and has also DOLLAR and YEN - Option. ************************************************** ************************************* PayPal is secure an Online-payments-service, the presently largest and one of that worldwide. If you not yet use these services, would open in PayPal on fee and cost-free Online account (Basis Premium-account) In order to receive also credit-cards-payments. You go in with the opening of this account no obligations. The best at the PayPal-service is that the money can be sent by an E-MAIL ADDRESS to the other E-MAIL ADDRESS without having to sacrifice the private bank data. And therefore also the Online-accounts are represented on the lower list through E-mail-addresses. - An example, how much you can earn through your participation alone at the mail-lists of this program, if you have only 10 participants: 1St plain - 10 participants >> EUR 30.00 2Nd plain - 100 participants >> EUR 300.00 3Rd plain - 1,000 participants >> EUR 3,000.00 4Th plain - 10,000 participants >> EUR 30,000.00 5Th plain - 100,000 participants >> EUR 300,000.00 = >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> EUR 333,333.00 You have the plain 5, therefore position 1 reaches, that is , have you now EUR 333,333.00 only for the mail-list-participation earns. Does THAT SOUND FOR YOU NOW LIKE A DREAM, OR??? IF YOU NOW STOP START TO DREAM AND THIS PROGRAM, CAN YOU YOUR DREAMS LIFE. SEQUENCE THE INSTRUCTIONS HOWEVER EXACTLY, THAT IS IMPORTANT. ************************************************** ************************************* follow now the following steps to start: Would register you in that "mail-lists" in order to be at the same time if it concerns large money earn. Click up: https://www.paypal.com (should that link not active, would copy it please into your browser) a) drawer now your Online-account with 12 Euros up (You pay on your Paypal-account per bank-transfer or credit card the 12 Euros) The 12 Euros are laughable in contrast to that what you salary if you are at the same time and remain at the ball. b ) would send now of your Online-account on each position of the list Per PayPal 3,- Euro. - for use-purpose write you: "Service" - for E-mail-reference write you: "Mail-list" + Order-number (see below) How you can send money, you find on the web page of Paypal simply declared. the present list: 1) net >>>>Mail-list 1 2) de >>>>>Mail-list2 3) de >>>Mail-list 3 4) de >>>>>Mail-list4 5) de >>>>>Mail-list5 Through the fast payment per enamel and the reception , it lasts only a few days until you get first payments on your Paypal-account. C) would copy this letter / side, would open your letter program (editor, Wordpad) and would join the letter there on. The mail-address deletes now behind position 1. The mail-address moves now behind position 2 towards the top to 1 The mail-address moves now behind position 3 towards the top to 2 The mail-address moves now behind position 4 towards the top to 3 The mail-address moves now behind position 5 towards the top to 4 Position 5 is now empty - would write here your enamel-address a (the same like in PayPal) Why the respectively 3 Euros? -> The respectively 3 Euros are for your mail-lists-participation. - > With your registration into the mail-list, you secure yourself the opportunity to be AHEAD with at the same time if again LARGE business-ideas become born. - > You get independent of your present position in the list , faster than other , information and programs in order to be again from the beginning at the same time yourself the large money knocks with you. The registration into the mail-list is the door. Without your registration, the door remains locked you and earn others otherwise the large money. The example above stands for ONLY 10 participants. Now would calculate once, how much money you salary if you have... 50, 100, or 200 participants And that is ONLY the BEGINNING. There is no boundary for your income that you can produce through this program! This business functions, but you exactly must follow it! No success have many persons BECAUSE they do not comply with the business-plan. Especially the direction to not to write to try your E-Mail-address to another place, for that will not function and will lose you a quantity at potential income. To write neither the registration WITHOUT payment, yet the attempt, the characteristic E-Mail-address to position 1. For without payment no the mail-lists include in, and through that reaches set the characteristic E-Mail-address on position 1 ONLY the first participants one and is deleted immediately after that. It is to be made really a magnificent possibility relatively easily money without large investments. If you you decide to participate in this business , would follow the instructions exactly and you betrittst the way to the financial freedom and security. If you read this program, you will recognize that this program is very profitable, the ENTIRE mail-letter is logical, simple and for each intelligibly. Would send this mail-letter at personal contacts and as an answer at people, who send you its programs , that work like you, already in the internet. Would register you in Paid-mail-services, newsletter , Newsgroups, would write in fora. You show that this program already convinced functioned and are by this system! It does NOT count AS a spam, if you on offer of the people, that send you mails , with which sending of this mail-letter answer. Because of the speed and the lucrative get into-possibility , this program will overtake already soon other programs in internet. And that is ONLY the BEGINNING. If the first payments went in on your Paypal-account, all your remaining doubts will disappear and will recognize you that this super-draft of other is superior. Would store your updated letter now. Would send it per E-MAIL or would construct it into your Web-side on. Endure this letter Free classified ads, Paid-mail-services, Newsgroups in the network, ect. confessed. Little hint: Would copy this text / this side and would send it at 40 people. The number 40 in the head would retain is easily reach can, 40 a good number of people that one in the internet. Each has the chance to become rich. But only the least use the chance that offers itself you. UTILIZE YOUR CHANCE NOW AND BE THERE. HURRY UP !!! |
| How do I transfer Office to my new computer? Posted: 09 Dec 2005 10:05 AM PST If this is the full retail version of Office XP, you can install on one desktop and one portable, not 2 desktops. If this is the Student's and Teacher's edition, you can install a single copy only. If this is an OEM version, it is tied to the machine on which it came preinstalled and cannot be installed on any other machine, ever. Office 2003 Student's and Teacher's Edition allows for 3 installs, any combination. Maybe time for an upgrade if you qualify? I have seen prices at around $125 for the STE - pretty good bargain for 3 machines. -- Milly Staples - [MVP Outlook] Post all replies to the news group.

When we were in Voorschoten, American School was in several different places (split by grades) in Scheveningen & Den Haag. I believe the British School is now in Voorschoten. Love Delft!

| Microsoft XP Software or Toshiba Hardware? Posted: 07 Dec 2005 10:16 PM PST Hi; The XP+SP2 is OEM supplied, therefore I guess that I'll need to 'play' with the Office97 install. Now, I feel that being non-computer literate, I'll need to go the Microsoft-preferred route and buy a new Office 2003. BUT, I still have the uninstall problem (is that your answer No.3 - I suspect not?). Sorry, I don't know what 'Start regedit' means. -- Dragon "garfield-n-odie" wrote: |

| Cannot install Office 95 on XP system Posted: 05 Dec 2005 03:22 PM PST Thanks for the information, but this does not make sense. I know others that have Office 95 running on XP. The only difference is that there XP was an upgrade, whereas mine is a fresh install. "ANONYMOUS" wrote: |
| Phone activation not available Posted: 05 Dec 2005 12:22 PM PST It looks like your installation is corrupted. Have you tried to uninstall and install again? Alternatively, you need to run MS Insaller cleanup utility to delete everything and start all over again.

| Re-Installing Office - Registering!!! Posted: 02 Dec 2005 01:25 AM PST No you can't deactivate any of the MS programs. Once you are on a database, it is very difficult to come out of it. The cost of removing somebody manually is exorbitant. I am on one spam database and I can't get out of it. I stopped using an email address for about a year and still the messages were still coming. the account was also closed for one complete year but no effect! What you need to do is to copy two files before formatting the HD. The two files are: OPA11.DAT OPA11.bak These files are located in (default location unless changed by you): C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\Data Also, please note that Office 2003 can be installed on two systems so if you have used only one so far then it should be easy to install and activate it on another. Before copying the two files, please ensure you have renamed the new files after reformatting to: OPA11.001 OPA11.002 Please use common-sense when replacing the original files to avoid headaches. hth MikeV06 wrote: |
