I wonder when Microsoft is actually going to do something about this. I have
tried everythying as well and still no solution. It's pretty sad when a
company can not even make there own software compatable with there operating
system.

here's the solution if you're running XP (i'm not sure how much this
would differ with vista but it may be exactly the same)...

step 1:
open C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\OFFICE\DATA

step 2:
delete opa12.dat (for office 2007) or opa11.dat (for previous versions)

step 3:
open any office program and put your product key in again

note:
this problem occurs for a couple of reasons...
1. the permissions for the opa**.dat file were not set for everyone
or...
2. you are running a pirated version of office and either windows
genuine advantage or office sp1 has picked up on it

Actually, neither of those reasons apply. 1, Since I did a reinstall,
the program has not run long enough to generate a .dat file to change.
2. I got my copy of Office SBME 2006 direct from Microsoft.
Therefore, I rather doubt that it was or is a "non-authorized" copy.
(aka pirated)
I use this particular program at home on a XP Home version.
