Office 2007 Trial not uninstalling

[GBCompGeek]

I'm trying to uninstall the trial of Office 2007 that came with my laptop and I can't get it to work. I've tried going through the control panel to get rid of it, but it's not working.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Rich

I'm assuming your on vista, In the search bar on the start menu type "Programs" and you should see "Programs and Features" pop-up, select this and uninstall Office from here. Maybe this is what you already tried but if that does not work...are you an administrator on this PC? Also Hello to a fellow cheese-head

I'm actually on XP home.

And I normally wouldn't mind the trial sitting there, but it's taking up 700mb and when I try to open my office files, it opens them in the trial edition instead of the full 2003 Pro version I have.

And by cheese head, do you mean like cheese or a Packer fan? I love cheese, but i'm not a Packer fan!! =)

Thanks,

What happens/doesn't happen when you try to unistall it?

You can right click on a word doc for example and select Open With....Should be able to select Word 2003 and also check the box that says "always use."

Well, normally when I uninstall a program through the control panel, it goes through the process and then the program's not on the list anymore. When I do that with this program, the screen flashes and NOTHING happens. It's still sitting there like I did nothing.

I've tried the "Open with..." option as well. The only Excel on the list is the trial and when I browse for other options, I pick the 2003 Pro Excel, but it still insists on using the trial to view the files.

Oh, and I can view my Office files in the 03 version, I just have to open the program first, then open the file. So it's not like I can't used the full version I have, it's just really irritating that I can't get that darned trial off there.

Thanks,

Can you try to reinstall the trial, and then uninstall it again

Maybe some part of it is running. Have you tried booting into Safe Mode and uninstalling it?
I found this not sure if it will help: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927222
