exxcel product activation....
 
I've had Office 2003 Pro installed on my machine for several months now.
Recently I did a registry clean and now wordf and excel are asking to do a
product activation again. For some reason word activated fine, but excel did
not. I'm not paying $35 just to get microsoft to fix something that
shouldn't have happend.

Any ideas on a free way that I can get my product activated by microsoft?

I bought office through a Microsoft-Campus agreement at my school.

thanks

You were the one who did the "registry clean".

What part did Microsoft play in that operation?

How was the registry clean performed? Manually or through a third-party
utility?

If third-party, does it have a backup file so's you could restore?
