Can't uninstall Home and Student 2007 nor activate Kimberley 11/16/2008 4:11:01 PM I downloaded a trial version of Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007. I bought the disk and tried to use that product key to convert the trial, the product key was accepted but then I received an error message that the installation would not complete. I receive a similar message if I try to uninstall the trial (uninstall would not complete). So I cannot convert my trial, nor uninstall it and am at a loss of what to do next.

Re: Can't uninstall Home and Student 2007 nor activate Kimberley 11/16/2008 8:44:07 PM Thanks. I thought I could just activate the trial, but I was unable to. I found the page you referred me to after I posted my question.
