The 60 day trial won't work. Why?

[Money99]

I installed Microsoft Office Home and Student trial (60 days). I configured
it 3 different times. It comes up on the excel and word, but I am allowed to
do no keying, deleting or anything. Why doesn't Microsoft Office Home and
Student 60 day trial period work on my computer when it said it would?

Explain "configured it 3 different times".

Maybe I meant reconfigured it. Keyed in the 25 digits required and hit
continue. It continued and said it was done correctly. I'd hit close
expecting everything to work.But as I wrote earlier, the Home and Student is
there but I can do no keying or deleting to it.

What OS are you running? Do you have a restore point dated before your
install of Office Home and Student 2007?

If you have a restore point dated before your installation of Office Home
and Student 2007, I would uninstall the product via the Control Panel, then
remove all folders created by Office Home and Student 2007 that you can
find. After that I would restore the computer to a date before your
installation of Office Home and Student. Then try a re-install with as
little running on your computer as is possible including anti-virus,
anti-malware and the like.

Go through the activation process then the first time that you run each
installed element in Office there will be a short configuration and then you
should be up and running.

How old is this downloaded Trial version. Has it been installed before you procured it by somebody else?
