cannot uninstall Microsoft trial 2007
Can someone please help me?
I have been trying to figure this out for about 3 weeks now. I just do not know what to do here. In short - I installed an MS office TRIAL. I had previously bought MS office about a year ago, and since I had to reinstall/format my entire hard drive, I needed to contact the place I bought it from. I figured, in the meantime while waiting for them to get back to me - I could download a trial edition. Biggest mistake I ever made. When I uninstalled my TRIAL version of the software, and installed my PAID version, it was not taking my PAID product key code... only the trial one. I have tried about 7 times to COMPLETELY remove the trial edition, but have had no luck. I tried contacting where I bought my paid version, and they said the key is working on their end - and that the trial is conflicting with the paid! ( I know this...lol) Try as I might, even searching MS ...and going into the registry even...I can't remove it!! Can someone please help me? I can't afford to be re buying the software again... |

It did not work.
I followed the directions and then installed my bought copy of MSO. When I tried to enter my product key for my bought software, the key was "invalid." I had to enter the trial product key code. Is there anything else I can try? I just don't know what to do. "SilverRavynne" wrote: Thanks everyone! I am going to try all this and see if it works! Fingers crossed!! |

I think you missed something
Follow manual removal again, clean out any temp files, then reboot when done Then recheck "SilverRavynne" wrote in message ... It did not work.

Would it not be faster and easier for you if you re-format your hard disk and start all over again including installing your MS Office paid version? You have already wasted 3 weeks and it has taken you nowhere so a re-format of the HD is the only best option left for you now!. hth SilverRavynne wrote: still, not working. I just don't know why.
