[nomadandy]

have installed office 2007 from disc supplied, all programs have installed correctly except outlook, when tring to activate outlook it asks for the 25 number product key provided, when i put this number in (the number supplied with the disc) it says its the wrong number, and gives you only 24 attemps to use outlook without this number, this number was used when installing office 2007 with no problems and all progams work correctly,anybody have any ideas what can i do to activate outlook, have used the help to find were the product no. key should be but it is not there, is it me or a faulty disc ?

Have you tried re-installing Office?

Assuming this is a genuine copy of Outlook / Office, then it may be that you are typing the number incorrectly. Incidentally, activating one of the Office products (e.g. Excel, Word etc) should activate them all.

Also, sometimes the numbers can be difficult to read e.g. sometimes a 'B' can be almost indistinguishable from an '8'.

Where did you buy the product?

Windows discs are case selective and you must type capitals & numbers as written

Best thing for a windows disc, of any description is to insert it into a paper shredder :)
I've had similar issues like this before, re-installing was the only thing that resolved the problem. I might be wrong but I'm sure they have changed the font for the activations to make them easier to read. Have you considered using software to locate your product key located (encrypte) in the registry then just copy and pasting into office, can't be any typos that way.

Following on from one of the other answers, make sure that when you enter the key 0 (zero) and O (arabic letter) are not transposed.

Outlook doesn't come with office home and student version.

It's likely that outlook is a leftover from a trial version of office on your computer and therefore you can't activate it with the key you have.

Then do a repair from Control Panel/Add Remove/M Office entry.
