Last week, I had a surprisingly pleasant email conversation with an MS representative about my Office software Validation. I purchased Office in 2002. Only recently, MS Validation checker reported a non-Genuine product. After contacting MS and their email representatives, I received a fix to the annoying Validation errors on my software. Here was the fix for corrupted Genuine Advantage files.
- Click Start, and then click Computer.
- On the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
- On the View tab, click Show hidden files and folders, and then click OK.
- Click the “Start” Button, in “Start Search” box, type: “%systemroot%\System32″ (without quotes) and press Enter.
- In the open system32 folder, look for following files.
- OGAEXEC.exe
- OGACheckControl.dll
- OGAAddin.dll
- OGAVerify.exe
- Right-click rename them to
- OGAEXEC.old
- OGACheckControl.old
- OGAAddin.old
- OGAVerify.old
- Note: If the OGAVerify.exe cannot be found, please disregard it.
