    dude I agree I bought Microsof office 2010 and put it on my laptop and my wifes laptop. This year I bought two new ones and office said I had reached my limit of authorized computers. Well I un-installed them from the older laptops so why cant I put them on my new ones. Oh, so I called Microsoft and waited 99mins really 99mins on hold waiting for the microsoft guy to fix the problem. AHAHAHAHAHHAAHAAAHAHA (shaking fist)

    There is no such thing as a windows error c00000078, not listed in any of the tech references. If you want anyone to try and help out you need to be EXACT when listing these things.
