Recently my friend opened his MS Office (Word) and begin to write but unfortunately a pop-up window showed that "You are not eligible to write on this software".

Even the microsoft Photo Editor is not opening.

What may have gone wrong?
please help us.

I believe there is trouble with some files related to XP.
u should try reinstalling the whole of XP again.

He had reinstalled office but nothing happened.
All microsoft products are not working except IE and WMP 9 which are inbuilt products.

You can try with System Restore (if its on) to revert back to a previous day when it was working properly.
Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore.

If that too doesn't work try doing a Xp Repair.Follow this :

It looks more like a case of infection. I dont remember Microsoft Word giving that message.BTW is it a pirated or genuine copy?

Run a Spyware Check
If he has Norton Anti-Virus installed, ask him to uncheck the office plug in from the options
