Thanks for responding, but I cannot find Activation Assistant anywhere.
Can you tell me where to find it?
Thanks!

When you uninstall the Office trial you also need to uninstall the
"Activation Assistant". On the other hand if you have not put
anything to speak of on the PC, you could restore to factory fresh
and then uninstall Office and the Activation Assistant and then
start your Office install.

My computer quit last week, so bought a new one. My old computer
had Windows XP and my new one has Windows 7. My old computer had
Works 8 on it and then the Office Small Business Edition 2003
upgrade. Tried to install these two on my new computer, Works
installed ok but have had trouble with the Office. I first thought
it had to do with it being Windows 7, but from what I've read that
shouldn't be a problem. There was also a trial version of office
2007 on my new computer and I thought that maybe was a problem. I
had trouble uninstalling that, but finally got it done. Now my
Office still does not work. I install it and click on it and get
this message: Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Office
Small Business Edition 2003. It keeps doing this and does not open.
It also does not ask for product key, so now I'm wondering if it
has something to do with activation?

Actually with Win 7 it should be Programs and Features in Control Panel.


Thanks for the reminder!
