I've installed a legal version of Office 2007 but my programmes say this is not a legitimate version. When I run a Microsoft validation test it passes them all but I still get the message.

Any ideas?

Are you trying the Office validation?

That's the validation that I passed!

Sadly, Donnie, it failed. Here's a screenshot of the result.

Quick point - was it on the computer when you got it from PC World, or was it a copy you bought seperately? If it's the former, then it's probably only a trial hence the reason for the non-genuine messages. If it's the latter, well, I would say to contact Microsoft, but like most big corporations, I suspect they'd try and force you to buy another copy.

I had a "dodgy" version that I removed before installing the legit one.

Do you need to run as an administrator?

No. I don't even know what that means!

Right click the batch file and select 'Run as administrator'.

I like a happy ending.
