Installing Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007

[Kelly]

Hello,

I am trying to install MO Home and Student 2007. For some reason, my
computer is not letting me to do so. I suspect that it might be due to the
previous Microsoft office system (trial version) already installed on my
computer. I have tried unstalling the current trial version of MO from my
computer but that didn't work for some reason. by the way, conversion thing
didn't work either. Perhaps it is because my production key is for Home and
Student edition whereas whatever the version of MO currently on my computer,
is Not. It just says my production key is not valid.-it can't be!

Anyhow for some reason, I cannot install MO Home and Student 2007 on my
computer. I download the MO Home and Student 2007 and go through installing
process up to the point: I get my production key confirmed and move on to
agreeing with the license terms and then clicked on "install now" button
which give me a horizontal bar with msg below "Installing Microsoft Office
Home and Student 2007..." but the wierd thing is the bar does not grow at
all. It's stuck at the stage where nothing is happening and finally i get an
error msg saying "Microsoft Office Home and Student encountered an error
during setup"

how do i solve this problem? I need to use words and excel asap for my term
paper.

If your free trial version of Office 2007 has expired, then you
cannot install another free trial version to extend the free
trial period.

If you purchased a retail version of Office 2007, then you need
to uninstall the free trial software before you install your
purchased software. See

2007 Office system if you cannot uninstall it by using the ‘Add
or Remove Programs' feature".
