Strange message in PP

P

pubscout

I have Microsoft Office Home and Student Edition installed on my HP 6710b
laptop. It has functioned flawlessly for two years. Now, however, every time
I open PowerPoint, I get a message that says: "Your trial period of PFC media
has expired and it will now operate in a reduced functionality mode. We thank
you for testing PFC Media. To restore full functionality, register it with
the Automated online registration. Thank you from the staff at AT&W
technologies."

No other Office program sends this message upon opening. I installed Office
myself and still have the disk. I inserted it and clicked "repair," and after
an hour i was told to reboot which i did, but that message keeps popping up
when I open PP.

I thought about uninstalling and re-installing, but I didn't want to risk
losing all my Word, Excel, PP, and One-Note files.

Can anyone help with suggestions? TIA.

Thanks to both Echo and T...that answered my question perfectly.

You installed the PFC Media add-in, and its trial period has expired. You
need to either buy or uninstall PFCMedia.
