millesm Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I've got a legit copy of MS Office X and it will not exept the legit serial number from my box. I've also tried some not so legit serialz and they fail too. Any ideas why this does not work? Has anybody managed to get MS Office X working on Intel?

bkny1055 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 what i ended up doing was dropping the MS2k4office folder in the application folder and that works but after awhile the appllications will just crash or just not open up. i tried Dock and Undocked but still..if i reboot and set them to open when the pc boots they work and opne but once i close and try and reopen they wont open up..strange Tekki just strange but its a hacked os so i expect things like this the fun part is getting it fixed thanks for the help guys its appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
