Leopard Upgrade triggered Office "test drive"

J

After loading Leopard on to existing iMac, with Office 2004 already
installed, I am unable to open word or excel documents, error message
says my thirty day trial "test drive" has expired. Do I have to
completely uninstall 1) Office, 2) Test drive only and 3) how do I act
as administrator if do not have .mac account (that's when I was
"rejected" from deleting just "test drive")?

After loading Leopard on to existing iMac, with Office 2004 already
installed, I am unable to open word or excel documents, error message
says my thirty day trial "test drive" has expired.
Do I have to
completely uninstall 1) Office,
Yes

2) Test drive only and

Can't remove Test drive without removing Office.
3) how do I act
as administrator if do not have .mac account (that's when I was
"rejected" from deleting just "test drive")?

Being an administrator has nothing to do with having a .Mac account. Just
boot into your admin account or have admin privileges added to the current
account.

This is strange. Can you tell us what install you used for Leopard? Erase
and Install, Archive and Install? Update Tiger???

Since this is the first report on this problem, I can only suggest what you
do to remove the Test Drive. See details here on how to remove:

I followed the instructions in the Leopard booklet, pp 4-5. Inserted
disk, selected destination, clicked install. Machine restarted. I
will follow your recommendation and report back.
Many thanks,
