Unable to activate Office XP

I've reinstalled Office XP (2002) on my old computer, but I'm having trouble getting it to activate. When attempting to activate over the internet, the activation stalls indefinitely at this dialog box.

The system is running a fairly clean install of Windows 98 Second Edition with KernelEx and NUSB drivers installed. I am connected to the internet, so that shouldn't be a problem. Did Microsoft stop allowing Office XP to be activated?

@Activation, Activation for Office will continue to work after the July end date for support. We have no plans to disable the Activation servers. If you or other customers encounter problems activating Office XP, please contact Microsoft support (http://support.microsoft.com) for help. No update to Office XP is needed or planned at this time.

So....I'm assuming no? I have the volume license version so I can't tell you for sure since I can't test it. I personally prefer Office 2000 to Office XP myself.
