I'm running Window XP. I took another look at my startup services..
Basically all that's in there are programs which I have really no idea what
they do... but there's not very many.

Do you have an updated installation of an antivirus application?
Regardless, I suggest downloading and running MalwareBytes on your system to
look for malware that may have hooked your keyboard and/or mouse.

I don't currently have an antivirus, I'll be downloading AVG at some point
but I havent gotten around to it, but I definitely do have malwarebytes
already, which is coming up clean....

Ugh this is so frustrating, I feel like I'm just shooting in the dark here..

There is one error that I noticed that is in my log 3 times over the course
of a week or so. Office 12 error 5000... Microsoft's error database doesn't
have any information about that error though... Know anything about it?

If i knew it would fix it i would just go buy another CD key from my
college's computer store and reinstall office, but that's an 80 dollar
investment that I just can't make on a whim... since the product I bought is
limited to 2 installs, so I'm told.

Would you post back the entire log message?

You spoke of a key problem before.
I do not understand this.
Normally a key dies not loose it's validity if a program is uninstalled
then re-installed.
I'd rather assume that the key is good for the install on two different
computers.

Pls contact the responsible person at your college to find out about the
details.

IMO uninstalling and re-installing would be a thing to do in any case.
In case of problems with the activation after the new install you would
contact MS.
