Re: I uninstalled Office 2007 Trial

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



Sorry about no continuity, I pressed reply on a reply to my original post,
and tried to respond. As your post is within the thread I started, I don't
understand why I have to repeat myself. But...

I have a PC clone from a store that is no longer in business. It has an
XP-Home sticker on it, but no Office 2000 sticker, so I don't have a COA. I
was given no disks when I purchased it. I cannot go back to a business that
no longer exists.

I do like Office 2000. I did not like 2007, so I decided not to purchase it
after a "Free Trial". Now I want a working Access, Excel, and Word. I
bought them, and Office 2007 has rendered them unusable.

I have tried System Restore, first to before the removal of Office 2007,
then to before I installed Office 2007, and get the same message, "No changes
were made to your computer".

My question is: How do I put my computer back to the state it was in before
the Free Trial?

Hi, Travis,

Are you writing in reference to an earlier posting? There's no context here
about what the problem is that you are trying to solve. I think that,
perhaps you had a pre-installed version of Office from your OEM installation
on your computer which is now not working because of the Office 2007 trial?
If so, contact the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) to see about
restoring your installation. Perhaps they provided you disks with your
computer for restoring the system?

If you don't like Office, try Open Office. It's free and reads Office files.

I tried the Microsoft Site suggested, but it wants a COA number, which is
supposed to be on a sticker on the computer. There are XP stickers, but
no
Office stickers.

So my "Free" trial is going to cost me several hundred dollars to buy a
product that I didn't like.

I had legit copies of Office, as was necessary in order to install the
"Free" trial of Office 2007. Now I don't have anything, and Microsoft
gets
to sell me something. I think I have been had!
