Please lose the caps - it's the Usenet equivalent of SHOUTING....

Did you UNINSTALL the trial version before installing your Student and
Teacher version?

Sorry about the caps....no I didn't uninstall...I'll do that and try
again....thanks

Gordon,
Should I uninstall ALL...including the XP that I have already
installed...just to start fresh?
Thanks

No - just uninstall your Student Teacher Office, then uninstall the trial
version. Re-boot, then re-install the Student Teacher version and see if
that works.
