Hello,

To use just one site in the entire Internet recently, I had to install Internet Explorer 7.

Since then, I've been plagued by MS insisting I re-register my Office 2000 Pro package, with it limiting how many more uses we can get before it "dies" on us.

However, the options of re-registering on-line, via e-mail and via the telephone are now unsupported, and I cannot get a fax through to the Sydney Australia number (02) 9870 2285, quoted in the print out for mailing or faxing.

How do I either register the package again, or stop MS from taking over my life on my PC? (It is running XP Pro, if that helps).

If I uninstall IE7, will this help?

And no, I will NOT be installing more recent versions of MS software - I'd sooner go with Open Office than upgrade to Vista or any other OS successors, and I loathe the more recent editions of Office since they tinkered with all the menus and icons.

Many thanks,

Heather.
