I know two friends, each having genuine installs of Office 2007 with their Vista operating System. The problem stems from an embedded serial that MS mistakenly picks up as non-genuine. They tried to resolve with MS locally - but!
MS checks genuine stuff each time you boot up so it is like a spy thing. As an aside - I don't like Vista and many others do not either. And I tried office 2007 and reverted to 2003 version and I do some pretty complicated spreadsheets. Anyway back to the point at hand.
If you have a version of Office 2007, with annoying popups on your PC, then use Revo uninstaller to remove. Choose option 4 and do not reboot when MS asks you just let revo continue then reboot. YOU might be amazed to find office 2007 contains 21,508 registry entries and 3,916 folders left over that Revo removes.
Then download this Office 2007 torrent version Link. You will need a torrent client to download such as utorrent. It is iso file so either launch it from virtual drive (auto launcher may not work properly from virtual drive) or burn to DVD disk and launch it from disk. Should auto install the serials but to find keys open file and see readme.txt. Works for me on 2 vista machines and 2 XP's.
Another best option is to get rid of Office 2007 and download openoffice which is open source free and I think is as good as ms office. For simple office applications use google documents. Also check out google docs templates. Has some really neat features.
Better yet, download Ubuntu Linux and have fun learning how to use this OS - all free including all programs. I have Ubuntu installed beside Windows XP as trying to wean kids off Microsoft.
