When I try to install MS office 2000 with my windows xp os, it won't accept the product key. I've used this code before to reinstall office before on this pc, but that was before I had to reinstall windows xp because of a fatal virus attack. Maybe that has something to do with it. Can anyone out there help?

Secondly Try downloading Malwarebytes & remove all the malware from your computer.........
Thirdly remove the software from your computer removing from ADD/Remove program & then try reinstalling the software with the same key...........

Use a retail CD, then after the installation finished, use the Microsoft key changer tool to change the serial key to the one on the out side of the case,of course the client still doesn't have OEM media in case this happens again.
