My new laptop came with a trial of Office 2007. I used it for 60 days and
have decided not buy the full version. How do I uninstall the program? I
went to the control panel, etc. to remove it, but after trying to unistall it
came up saying the uninstall did not complete successfully. How do I remove
it from my computer? I'm running Windows Vista. Thanks.

The Office team is usually one of the more on-the-ball groups at Microsoft,
but this is pretty lame. Not you, Carey. Thanks for posting the link.

Cheers,

I tried following the directions in the link you sent, but i'm still having
trouble. I was not able to uninstall some items in the install folder (step
1) because the source was not available. I also had trouble in step 3 trying
to remove Office12. It said permission was denied. I am the only user on
this computer and I do have administrator permissions. What could the
problem be? I would really like to get this version off of my computer. Any
help is appreciated.

Getting very similar error. Tried using uninstaller to remove 07 office trial
- no luck - error msg says something about "language not supported." Tried
going directly to the program files directory - if you delete the file Office
12 it reappears or gives you permission denied error. Still working the
issue.
