REMOVE OFFICE PRO 2007 FROM BASIC INSTALL
I purchased office 2007 OEM with my new system. It came with a trial version
of Office Pro and that has now expired. For some reason this has locked up my picture manager and I can't use it anymore, it just comes up with the activation wizard and wants me to buy the professional version. Now from what I have heard, picture manager should come with all office suits including basic. How on earth can I fix this so that picture manager works once again? I can’t find away to uninstall the trail version of professional from my basic install and I have no idea how else to stop the activation wizard from popping up all the time except to buy it. Any help would be awesome! |

Assuming you didnt uninstall trial, prior to installing your OEM version,
uninstall Office and reinstall OEM "CAFERS" wrote in message ... I purchased office 2007 OEM with my new system. It came with a trial version of Office Pro and that has now expired.

Thats the thing, I tried to uninstall and reinstall but it installs the pro
trail on its own. There is no option to tell it not to install the trial of pro and I can't uninstall the trial after the fact. |

REMOVE OFFICE PRO 2007 FROM BASIC INSTALL
I have the disk for basic that was sent to me from Microsoft because OEM does
not come with the disk. As far as I can tell all copies of OEM Basic come with the Professional trail. When you install from disk it installs the pro trial for you, does not ask you if you want it or not. There are not two copies to uninstall, it seems there is one. I look under add/remove programs and there is nothing there for Pro trail just 2007 Microsoft Office System. You try to remove it and basic is removed as well...you try to change the features and remove all the ones included with the Pro trial and the activation wizard still pops up when you open the picture manager. This is driving me crazy. "JoAnn Paules" wrote: Uninstall both copies. Install the the full version again.

You cannot do that you have to uninstall MS Office, period.
How *exactly* is your Office cd entitled? "CAFERS" wrote in message ... Yeah, but I want to keep basic, just remove the trail of Pro.

REMOVE OFFICE PRO 2007 FROM BASIC INSTALL
OK, I tried to uninstall everything again and reinstall to see if I missed
something....same poroblem. The CD is called Microsoft Office Basic 2007 with Office Professional 2007 Trail. It says this suite contains Word 2007, Excel 2007, and Outlook 2007......these all work fine. The problem is with MS picture manager, I was told it is included in all Office 2007 suites but it acts as if it is part of the pro suite only. Thanx for your help by the way, it is greatly appreciated....same with you JoAnn!! "DL" wrote: You cannot do that you have to uninstall MS Office, period. How *exactly* is your Office cd entitled?

Office Basic contains Word, Excell, Outlook
If it contains Picture Manager I believe it will be located under Microsoft OfficeOffice Tools The MS Office site isnt very explicit. When you install Office Basic, select custom install, or if allready installed modify the installation, to add components, and check the various options You cannot install anything from the trial, as it will be installed as a trial only.
