Re: help w/uninstalling Microsoft Office Standard Trial Edition

How do you know it's there? What I'm asking is do you see a file? Do
you see references in the Start Menu?

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.

Dear JoAnn, that does not help, because as I indicated, this Trial
software
has never been installed and there is nothing in Add/Remove to hit;
OK? Clear?
I tried running the Windows Installer Cleaner, as I said before, and
nothing
with the name Trial appears on it, I guess because there has been no
install.
There is nothing in the Microsoft.com website that pops up when you
run a
search
for uninstall Microsoft Office Standard Edition Trial. The only
thing in the
knowledge
base that shows up is how to convert this trial. It's seems really
odd to me
that
Microsoft and HP would install a product on a laptop that can't be
removed
safely.
There is no uninstaller I can find in any of the folders that I
mentioned
that are sitting on my Hard Drive under SWSETUP or Progam Files.
This trial software is just sitting on my brand new laptop with no
way to
uninstall it safely, HP and Microsoft seemingly don't know how, and
I can't
install my genuine copy of Office 2003 until it's gone. Any
resources or
suggestions to try that you know of??? Thanks
