I'm sorry Doc, but I saw no points to answer in your post. You complained that your copies of MS software did not pass even though you paid for them. What am I to say? Your question should be directed to MS. All I know is that thousands of counterfiet copies of software are sold to honest people every day, who have no reason to suspect the software they purchased. Only MS can tell you why your programs failed to pass, and if they don't have a reason, they will surely rectify your problem. I can't help you, and any sympathy from me will not help you.
