The OP is using a pirated version which Microsoft has NOW BLOCKED. He
can't even use a telephone just in case he is caught by authorities
RED-HANDED trying to steal Microsoft software.

Mind you, telephone calls can give away your identity. Internet can be
fooled by using VPN and all that.

YOU are a piece of work.
To be X-rated, that is to say, eXplicit, my CD is "Microsoft Office
Student and Teacher Edition 2003".
Virtually unreadable as holographic blaze obscured: "(C) 2004 Microsoft
Corporation"
And below that, even MORE obscured, something like "ALL rights reserved"
NEXT 2 lines impossible to read as-is.


Maybe it IS because it's the "Student and Teacher Edition" that it needs
activation. Since you have to provide proof that you are one or the other,
maybe it thinks you're now trying to install it on a new machine? I got
nothing, other than my Office Pro 2003 installs and runs just fine without
any activation messages.
Sorry.
