Mac Forum / Applications / MS Office / March 2006Applications will not start on Office 2004 Test Drive
Used to have the v.x Test Drive installed. Uninstalled it. Downloaded and installed the Office 2004 Test Drive. Now when you try to open a document all I get is the 'Buy now Learn more Remind Me Later' dialogue box and nothing comes up. I can't even go File --> Open. I get the same thing. I've tried restarting, the user is an administrator, the drive has lots of space and has read/write permissions. This has OS X installed. The question is *how* did you go about uninstalling the Test Drive? If you simply dragged the folder to the trash, that won't do it . The Remove Office Tool must be used. Then empty the trash, repair Permissions, log out/in & Install the new test drive. Repair permissions again & see how that works. HTH |:>) Yep, That's exactly what I did. Used the Remove Office Tool, then I went and emptied the trash. But what I didn't do was repair permissions. I tried to run the utility and that gave me an error..... If Repair Permissions generated an error, you *may* have a potentially serious problem to deal with. Before worrying about the Test Drive, I suggest you boot from your install disk & use the Repair Disk utility. And/or If you have DiskWarrior or TTP you might want to take advantage of them to get you drive back in shape first.

At risk of asking a silly question, have you tried clicking "remind me later"? If so, does that not then go to the appropriate application? PhilD -- <>< If I hit 'Remind Me Later' nothing happens.
