Hi and thanks so much for the reply. There is no telephone activation option
available! Here's what happens: I open up a program - say Outlook. After
opening seemingly properly, the activation wizard initializes. The message
(my paraphrase) is "Microsoft has detected a significant change in your
machine configuration. You must activate the product or you'll only be able
to use Reduced Functionality Mode". I insert the proper Office XP disk, and
press next. After two or three minutes of gyrations, the wizard just closes
- no "Success message" no "Fail message" - nothing. But the product is
indeed still in reduced functionality mode.

I have upgraded this computer a few times over the years, and I have often
faced this issue, but usually I can get it to resolve somehow. I have tried
restarting the programs, starting different office programs,. and restarting
the computer, but I still cannot get it to activate. I am really addicted to
Outlook, and I'm using a paper calendar again after 15 years! It's bizarre.
Thank you again for your help and concern.

Peace and blessings - Joseph
