If you have the trial version installed, and you failed to remove this prior
to installing, via Add/Remove dialogue you have a problem.
If its possible to uninstlall via add/remove do so, you will likely have to
repair your Office SB edition.
You *will need* your OEM office cd's if you dont have them, obtain them from
HP.
I wouldnt reccomend attemting to uninstall untill you have these cd's
There is an MS kb article on manual removal of the trial version

DL,
I'm guessing it's an Office PRO trial that is giving me the problem.
I
have a purchased copy of Office Small Business. The reason I mention
Access
is that when the "Activation Wizard" pops up telling me that my trial
program
expired, I have a list with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Outlook and
Publisher. The two columns say "your current edition" and "Microsoft
Office
Professional 2007". The only thing that is not checked is Access in the
"my
current version" column and it says Trial. Also, when I go into Access
(and
alas Picture Manager) I get the same dialog box. I would be merrily on my
way if there were a start menu program that specifically said remove trial
software or remove access trial. I just don't see that, and after the
time I
have put into setting up the Office Software I actually purchased, I don't
want to go through a messy/time consuming reinstall. Plus being the OEM
version from HP I don't have the CDs handy and would rather not mess with
the
restore option I'd be more inclined to do what I need to do if I had
requested the trial, but I have no, and never did, interest in Access.
Thanks for the response. Bob

Yet another posting of the problem with an UNWANTED Microsoft Access
trial
causing Picture Manager features to become deactivated. As has been
posted
before by others, I PURCHASED a full copy of Office Small Business, and
my
desktop manufacturer installed a trial of Access which I never even went
into....not interested. Once the trail date expired, I get a nice
annoying
pop up when trying to use picture manager (a product I do use often)
saying
that my trail of access has expired and the only option is to purchase
(of
course) I could live with that if it popped up only when I went into
access
(never) but it also does the same in picture manager, along with killing
all
menu features. I've posted this again in hopes that SOMEONE has the
answer
or can send a link to the mysterious files that may fix it. Most of the
posts end up with a discussion of Microsoft's non existent support or
suggestions that Office needs to be uninstalled and reinstalled . Not
good
options either way, but less so when the software was installed by the PC
maker. I have called and E-Mailed Microsoft and was pointed back to the
same
location(s) where it gave wonderful instructions on how to purchase and
activate trial software. I DON'T WANT ACCESS...I WANT PICTURE MANAGER TO
WORK. Any help, please??
