Default Activation problem with office suite

Hi

Ok heres my problem. Last month i downloaded office student and home edition
trial version on my computer because i needed it for some class i was taking
at college.

For christmas my mom got me another full version from best buy, so i went to
instal it, and everything seemed to instal ok but after i activated it, word
and excel and all the programs that came with the trial version still said
they were trials and they would not take my activation key when i tried to
activate them.

i dont know what i should do to solve this problem.

christmas.

Hi, mlwspace,

What is listed in Windows Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs applet? What
Office programs are shown as installed?
