Microsoft office asking for activation key?

this happened to my 3 years old laptop. starting few days ago, when I try to open all my doc/docx file by double click on it, a windows pops up asking for office 2010 activation key prevent me from opening. but if I open word starter from the start menu first and open the doc from there then its fine. any idea how can I fix it? I am using windows 7 and the office 2010 comes with the Dell laptop so it should be legit.

Word Starter =/= Office 2010.

Chances are the files you're trying to open are attempting to run Microsoft Office, which was probably a trial copy, instead of Word Starter, which is a full running program.

Yeah, programs like Office and Photoshop are a racket. I'm sure you can find various Bays full of Pirates that will offer a much better solution than shelling out $600.

You know you can buy Office Home and Student, as well as Photoshop Elements, for less than $100, right? And both programs in that price range offers more than enough options for the average user.

Not necessarily

Who do you think releases these things? A lot of shit gets hidden in them undetected for a long time. Then boom, your system is sending keylogs to russia and china.

I find that the only people who ever complain about getting viruses etc are ones who pirate things like Photoshop and Office and new PC games.
