Installation issue

[Guest]

I have office 03 installed on my computer. Recently the computer was rebooted
and all programs reloaded. Now office will not work. It keeps asking for the
product key code. i type it in but it tells me the code is incorrect. Anyone
have any ideas on what the problem could be and how to fix it?

Rebooted? If you performed a system restore from the CDs that came with
your computer, then in the process you may have restored a free trial of
Office 2003 that may have originally come with your computer, and you
need to uninstall the free trial software before you install your copy
of Office 2003. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=836178 "You
receive an 'invalid product key' error message when you start an Office
2003 program after you install Office Professional Edition 2003" for
more information.
