msoobe.exe won't run

[Guest]

I am trying to activate Windows, but when I click on the Activate Windows
program on the start menu nothing happens. I checked the properties of the
Activate Windows shortcut and discovered that the name of the program is
msoobe.exe. When I open Windows Task Manager and look for msoobe.exe on the
processes list I see it appear a second after I click the shortcut and then
it dissapears off the list 2 seconds later. What should I do to fix this
problem?

Every method listed on that site requires you to run the Windows activation
program which isn't working on my computer. Any other suggestions?
