Office Web Page and Registration won't work

C

CH

I have seen this before and can't explain it, from both my XP Boot and Vista boots. I just loaded Office 07 on another Vista box.

When I click the registration page that also has good info on Offic on it, I get the message (the url is correct for the page because I've been reaching it for months):

http://officebeta.iponet.net/en-us/help/FX100743211033.aspx

None of these suggestions makes the page show up:

Microsoft Office Online Beta Authorization Error Page
How did you get here?
You have arrived at this page because you are not a 2007 Microsoft Office Beta release user. You must be a beta user to access the Office Online Beta site.


Get the beta now
IT pros: Get planning, deployment, and operations documents

Did you arrive here by mistake?
If you have installed the 2007 release, you may have arrived at this page for a couple reasons.

You have installed the 2007 release, but have not yet run any applications. Please open an application, restart your browser, and then try again to access the Office Online Beta site.
Your installation of the 2007 release was not detected by the Microsoft Office Online Beta site. Your installation of the 2007 release might not have been detected because your Internet settings are set to High. If you're using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher, the Internet zone settings on your computer must be set to Medium, and the Microsoft Office Online Beta site must be listed as a trusted site on your computer.

Adding a Web site as a trusted site can have security implications. For more information, you can read about URL Security Zones.

To add Microsoft Office Online Beta to your list of trusted sites in Internet Explorer
On the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, click Internet Options, and then click the Security tab.
Click the Trusted Sites icon, and then click Sites.
Clear the Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone check box.
In the Add this Web site to the zone box, type http://officebeta.iponet.net, and then click Add.
Click OK twice.
Note Make sure Active Scripting is enabled. In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options. On the Security tab, click Custom Level. Scroll down to Scripting and make sure Active Scripting is enabled.

Use a supported browser
We recommend using the latest versions of Internet Explorer, FireFox, or Netscape. If you are still having problems, try to Detect and Repair your 2007 Office system installation.

Thanks,

Hi C.H.

If I'm following you correctly you don't have Office 2007 installed on your current boot partition? If so, you'll need to install
the Active X control from Link #3, below to be able to access the Office Online 2007 preview site, http://officebeta.iponet.net
