Just tried to downloand from microsoft and was told my Outlook failed the
validation test and was a fake!! Not true. I tried to validate w/in Outlook
and message said already validated! How can I validate my program ??
Without losing everything? Thank you,
 
Validation is for Windows XP, not Office's Outlook. Explain exactly what you
were downloading. Some recent Critical Updates for Windows are known to cause
this glitch.
 
Mary, Not true. My windows xp is validated as is my ms office word 2003.
When I tried to download the Outlook 2003 add-in persoanl folders backup
program, the notice came back:

[0x8018108]
Microsoft Office Outlook 2003: Validation Failed
The product key used to install Office is not valid. It has been identified
by Microsoft as a false key used with counterfeit copies of Office.

along w/the notice that although my ms office word 2003 was validated, my
computer "is not eligible for the benefits of genuine Office." So, unless
Staples sold me a pirated Outlook program a number of years ago, there's a
probelm. I just went through the nonsense w/Outlook not receiveing email
after the 10/9 updates.
I just want simple, easy-to-do fixes for problems not caused by me--
 
Office AND Windows both use the validation tool to verify eligibility for Microsoft added-value downloads.
