Win xp failed on me, and I had to re-install, now I'm trying to get things
set up again.

I run Office 2000 off a different HD than the o/s. When I went to the MS
site to download an Outlook 2000 backup program, it sent me through a
routine for validation, and decided it couldn't find the Office 2000
installed on my computer.

BTW, I have a valid Office install - everything is legit.

What do I do to get this thing "validated"?

Thanks
