Applications will not start on Office 2004 Test Drive

[skcorpion]

Used to have the v.x Test Drive installed. Uninstalled it. Downloaded
and installed the Office 2004 Test Drive.

Now when you try to open a document all I get is the 'Buy now Learn
more Remind Me Later' dialogue box and nothing comes up.

I can't even go File --> Open. I get the same thing.

I've tried restarting, the user is an administrator, the drive has lots
of space and has read/write permissions.

This has OS X installed.

The question is *how* did you go about uninstalling the Test Drive?

If you simply dragged the folder to the trash, that won't do it . The
Remove Office Tool must be used. Then empty the trash, repair
Permissions, log out/in & Install the new test drive. Repair
permissions again & see how that works.

At risk of asking a silly question, have you tried clicking "remind me
later"? If so, does that not then go to the appropriate application?

Yep, That's exactly what I did. Used the Remove Office Tool, then I
went and emptied the trash. But what I didn't do was repair
permissions. I tried to run the utility and that gave me an error.....

If I hit 'Remind Me Later' nothing happens. The dialogue box goes away
and nothing opens.

If Repair Permissions generated an error, you *may* have a potentially
serious problem to deal with. Before worrying about the Test Drive, I
suggest you boot from your install disk & use the Repair Disk utility.
And/or If you have DiskWarrior or TTP you might want to take advantage
of them to get you drive back in shape first.
