Mac Forum / Applications / MS Office / May 2005Office 2004 Install Problem
Like Jonzy, I did not know that Office 2004 Test Drive was on my new iMac when I installed the full version. Not to worry: I ran the removal application from my hard drive. But it gave me a choice between removing Office X (yet another version of this suite is on the computer ??) and Office 2004, both with "Test Drive Included." I reluctantly chose the Office X, all of which had no effect on removing the Office 2004 Test Drive application. Now when I want to access WORD, just the Test Drive version comes up. What should I do? Drag the Test Drive folder to the trash? Run the removal app. from the Office CD? Remove both the Test Drive version and the real version? Just let the Test Drive version expire in three weeks and then let it sit there forever neutered? To compound my frustration, I have only one installation left on my Teacher/Student Edition of Office 2004, so I've got to get all this right. Thanks for any direction you might give. > Like Jonzy, I did not know that Office 2004 Test Drive was on my new > iMac when I installed the full version.

First, run the Remove Office app from the 2004 install CD and remove anything it finds of v.X, Test Drive 2004, and Office 2004. Second, Reinstall Office, and update with SP1 from Mactopia: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.aspx Third, your S/T edition comes with three *licenses*, not three *installations*. You can remove and reinstall Office every day if you want to, you just can't run on more than three machines simultaneously. THANK YOU, JE McGimpsey!! I followed the first two steps and am now all set with just one copy of OFFICE 2004 on my hard drive. I did, however, have to run the REMOVE OFFICE app. about three times. Although the program told me that it had removed the selected items and moved them to the trash, the trash can showed no contents. Finally, I decided to empty it anyway. Voila! The blue activiity bar came up, indicating that something was in there. I'm so relieved to have discovered Google Groups. It's awful to be alone with computer problems. Thanks again.---Judy |
