If you installed the trail from recovery disks you need to uninstall the
trial together with any Activation assistant first, and reboot.
Also if you have recovered your PC you need to run winupdate first to
install critical updates.

'Elevated' is a Vista msg, ie it needs to be run as an administrator, or
with elevated permissions, you should have got a further Vista msg to allow
this, then it would have installed, but not if the trial was still installed

I am trying to reload 2003 in Vista but all I get is that it needs to
"elevated".

What does that mean? Is it no longer compatible?

Can I create a virtual drive with XP running and install it there?

My new computer had 2003 installed but then it failed. Now the backup
disks
only provide a trial version to Office 2007. I got screwed twice.

Any help?
