I had to format my laptop some weeks back and since then my Microsoft Office has been failing to get activated. I have severally deleted the Opa12.dat file and followed other suggestions on the Microsoft support website, all to no avail. Can someone please help.

Delete the data.dat files on the c:\ drive and try again.
Otherwise you can do telephone activation.

Hackney - What are you doing talking to monkeys as you call them?

You said these earlier in another thread!

By african standards they are safe! !
what are you all talking about? ?

lets concentrate on the gullys you call roads here before you complain about small
flaws in a german car.
what an insult from monkeys.

They have owned up that there is a slight issue with the brakes and ppl are taking it too far as if
there is anything like standards in africa.

im annoyed with that rubbish continent in general.
Literally they get nothing right for centuries.
monkeys.

labiyemmy, it should be one of those slips of the tongue and to slip they say is , emmm human A beg no vex.

hackney, thanks but I had already done that, or is what you mean different from what I posted?

If all fails (and your copy is genuine), you can activate via telephone.
the telephone conversation is usually automated and when they verify that your
MS office copy is authentic, they will give you a set of activation keys that will work.

Ques: With the activation failing, does it still create a 'microsoft office' folder in program files? if it does , it should be deleted before you try again.

Also you can look in the registry to see if any MS office entries are there or even in control panel.
These can be removed\uninstalled but be careful with the registry as it modifications can stop your laptop from
loading windows.

hope that helps.
cheers.

hackney, I'm not techie enough to want to monkey with the registry again. It once landed me in serious mess.  However, i won't mind trying the other suggestions. it's a genuine copy and there is MS Office folder in programme files.

Nuel, could you please throw in some light about the offline one? I guess it doesn't require activation whether online or by phone, right?

You can delete the ms office folder and try re-installing.
the folder is useless anyway since you cant activate or use office apps.

NO ONLINE OR TELEPHONE ACTIVATION IS REQUIRED, EVERYTHING YOU NEED IS CONTAINED IN ONE FOLDER! ALL I NEED DO FOR YOU IS INSTALL TUGZIP THEN I USE IT TO UNZIP THE MICROSOFT OFFICE FOLDER, WHICH CONTAINS THE INSTALLS FILE (.EXE) AND THE KEY GEN, DURING INSTALLATION PROCESS IT WILL PROMPT U FOR THE KEY,JUST COPY AND PASTE ANYONE OF THE KEYS IN THE KEY GEN AND BAM! IT INSTALLS WITHOUT INTERUPTION, READY TO USE.

Thanks guys, i finally phoned Microsoft for the activation and it's now working fine.

zukky, this is called spam
