Microsfot Office always ask to activate

Office repeatedly prompts you to activate on a new PC

When you install a volume license version of Office Standard or Office Professional Plus on a new PC, you might be prompted with a Let's get started screen each time you start Office. This can happen if you don't uninstall the pre-installed version of Office on your new PC before installing a volume license version of Office.

To stop the prompts for activation, make sure your Office uses volume licensing and then update the registry.

Verify that your Office version uses volume licensing

Volume license versions of Office are typically used by large organizations. Here's how to check if your version of Office uses volume licensing:

1. Open a document in Word.
2. Go to File > Account.
3. Compare your screen to this screen shot and look for the following.
   
   
   • Volume license versions are named Office Standard or Office Professional Plus
   • Volume license versions have a Change Product Key link.
   • 
     

If you see buttons named Manage Account or Update Options, you're not using a volume license version of Office.

'Blue Screen Of Death’ When Booting From WinXP CD

When booting from my WinXP installation disc, the system began loading all the files and drivers as it normally would and then froze and goes to the dreaded Blue Screen Of Death or BSOD. After a lot of rooting around it turned out a setting in the BIOS was the cause of the problem.

To fix it, entered the computers BIOS while it was booting up by pressing F2 (most computers use the Del key). Then go to ‘Advanced’ -> ‘IDE Configuration’ -> Changed ‘SATA Operation Mode’ from ‘Enhanced’ to ‘Compatible’ and then Exit & Save Changes by pressing F10.

Boot from your XP CD and voila! It should work.

How to Enable Typing Slashes in Cells in Excel

By default, the slash (/) key displays the shortcuts to the commands on the ribbon in Excel. So, what do you do if you want to enter a slash in a cell? There’s a way to disable this setting so you can type a slash in cells.

To prevent the slash key from activating the ribbon command shortcuts, click the “File” tab.

On the backstage screen, click “Options” in the list of items on the left. 

 On the “Excel Options” dialog box, click “Advanced” in the list of items on the left.

In the “Lotus compatibility” section, change the character in the “Microsoft Excel menu key” edit box from a slash to a different character, such as a tllde (~) or a grave accent (`). Make sure the character you choose is one you won’t be using in the cells.

Click “OK” to accept the change and close the “Excel Options” dialog box.

Now you can type a slash in any cell in your worksheet.

Again, the character you entered as the “Microsoft Excel menu key” is not available to type in the cells.
