Vas is das 'vik' please. :-) (What is a vik? asks this somewhat computer-illterate)

Talldude123, I'm sorry to hear the above. I was recently told by Microsoft that I could reactivate my Windows XP home edition OEM as many times as I liked as long as it was on the same disk drive, and that that principle held true for all their OEM products. For example, my OEM Microsoft office...

Everything is okay. I was as told by a Microsoft person, who said she checked that information carefully, that as long as I kept my Microsoft Office OEM program on the same hard drive, I could keep reactivating Office forever. But, to be on the safe side, I'll try not to reinstall that program...

Unfortunately, being computer illiterate, I've activated it a number of times, perhaps 5, and it is OEM. I guess there's nothing I can do about that until and if I can upgrade it or buy another program. And I paid a lot for it -- $500 Canadian. (The only hardware it came with was a mouse.)

I forgot to ask if there was a limited number of times I could activate my Microsoft Office 2003 (small business edition).

Are there a limited number of times that I can activate my Windows XP home edition. I've reinstalled it a lot and I only recently learned that some programs limit the number of times you can activate them.
