I did as you said and nervously used Revo Uninstaller to uninstall Microsoft Office Trial from my Daughter's Sony Vario Laptop. It worked, but I was very worried when it took over 30 minutes to calculate how many Registry References to remove.....a total of over 60,000 and over 180 Program Files. It removed it and then I was able to install Microsoft Office Enterprise. I didn't need to remove Activation Assistant (as you said) as I think I probably had removed it (accidentally) in my previous adventures at trying to remove Office Trial. It appears you normally have to remove it before you remove Office.<br /> Everything is now installed and working properly, so a BIG THANK YOU TO YOU and everyone who tried to help....REVO ROCKS</p> <p>THANKS </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/printing-outlook-3-emails#post-120556 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 18:12:46 +0000 Fernguy 120556@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p><a href="http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA102771791033.aspx">Outlook Printing</a> </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/how-do-you-remove-microsoft-office-trial-to-replaced-by-microsoft-office-enterpr#post-120326 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:27:17 +0000 Bartman 120326@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>900 files would not be unusual for a program the size of Office. If I remember correctly that is about the number I saw when I uninstalled it.<br /> Something else just came to mind. After uninstalling the trial you will also need to uninstall the Activation Assistant as well.</p> <p>I don't think you have anything to worry about concerning your daughters files since they are kept in a separate folder such as the Documents<br /> folder. But you could always back them up as an extra measure of insurance. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/remove-ms-office-2007-and-restore-ms-office-2003#post-120322 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:02:48 +0000 calebstein 120322@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Since it is quite hard to get a copy of Office 2003 legally (the only way I know is through TechNet), I would recommend upgrading to the 2010 beta at <a href="http://office.com/beta" rel="nofollow">http://office.com/beta</a> </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/how-do-you-remove-microsoft-office-trial-to-replaced-by-microsoft-office-enterpr#post-120318 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:42:46 +0000 Charliebrown 120318@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>whs.....thanks for your help but I tried to install the new bought copy of Microsoft Office Enterprise over the top of the trial version (and like you) I thought it would remove the trial version but it didn't and after doing some research it appears it doesn't and that's why I have got into all the problems I having with it..........it's a real pain in the neck!!!! and that is why I think Microsoft should be respondsible for getting me out of this mess. They seem to have imbedded this trial installation onto new computers. They have probably have done a deal with the manufacturers of the hardware (in my daughters case her new Sony Vario Laptop) that they must install this if they want to install Windows Vista.......anyway I think should have provided a simple program to remove it.</p> <p>Bartman........thanks also for your help. I have used Revo many times in the past to remove other software from my computer and it has ALWAYS removed it....without exception. But I was a wee bit concerned when I saw the number of files it wanted to remove.....I think it was over 900 files (it might have been less than that.....but it was a lot) Do you think it would be safe enough to use.....especially with my daughters important files on the computer.....I don't want loose everything and then have to reformat or even worse have to start all over again. I don't think I would be her favourite Dad if that happened LOL.....do you?<br /> So you see the delemma I am in......I'm dammed if I do and dammed if I don't, because she needs this software installed for her school work.</p> <p>Thanks for all your help </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/how-do-you-remove-microsoft-office-trial-to-replaced-by-microsoft-office-enterpr#post-120309 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:55:13 +0000 Bartman 120309@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I have used Revo Uninstaller to remove Office Home and Student 2007<br /> many times with complete success.</p> <p>Suggest you try it to remove the program using the Advanced Option.</p> <p>I have also used Decrapifier in the past, but I don't think it is as thorough<br /> as Revo.</p> <p>I have also used Revo to uninstall other programs without any problems at all. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/how-do-you-remove-microsoft-office-trial-to-replaced-by-microsoft-office-enterpr#post-120307 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:18:46 +0000 whs 120307@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>As far as I remember, once you install a new Office 2007, it removes the old version as part of the new installation.

To me it looks very, very ,risky.<br /> I think I will try the "Fix It" program from Microsoft first and see if that works. I will try it in the next day or so and then let you know how I get on. I don't want to ruin my daughters computer because she has her GCSE Course Work on it.<br /> I really don't understand why Microsoft have made this so difficult to remove. Why oh why?<br /> I suppose I could contact Microsoft and ask them to talk me through this.........as it is their program.<br /> Anyway thanks for all your help and I will let you know how I get on in the next day or so...............and if anyone else has any other suggestion to put forward.......please do</p> <p>Thanks </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/how-do-you-remove-microsoft-office-trial-to-replaced-by-microsoft-office-enterpr#post-120274 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:10:16 +0000 mfletch 120274@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I have used this in the past.</p> <p>Microsoft Office 2007 Registry Complete Removal Tool</p> <p>More info</p> <p><a href="http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/01/03/microsoft-office-2007-complete-registry-removal-and-deletion-uninstaller/" rel="nofollow">http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/01/03/microsoft-office-2007-complete-registry-removal-and-deletion-uninstaller/</a> </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/how-do-you-remove-microsoft-office-trial-to-replaced-by-microsoft-office-enterpr#post-120269 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:02:03 +0000 Charliebrown 120269@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Yes I saw that on my travels but didn't know if it would work or not because it said "Note This Fix It solution does not remove an Office program that was installed separately from the Office suite.

When it comes to Registry alterations (and the warnings it comes with).....I just run a mile.<br /> Thanks again for your help but is there somewhere else that get rid of this annoying application. I don't why Microsoft make it so difficult to remove.....in my case I am going to replace it with a dearer product of theirs. I even tried to validate the trial product with the Key that came with the Microsoft Office Enterprise but it didn't accept it. Someone on another forum suggested that I use the Disc I was given with MOE to remove the Trial but that didn't work either.<br /> Please Help........thanks </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/how-do-you-remove-microsoft-office-trial-to-replaced-by-microsoft-office-enterpr#post-120262 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:47:02 +0000 mfletch 120262@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>This any help.</p> <p>How to manually uninstall the 2007 Office system</p> <p><a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928218/" rel="nofollow">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928218/</a> </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/how-do-you-remove-microsoft-office-trial-to-replaced-by-microsoft-office-enterpr#post-120260 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:35:21 +0000 Charliebrown 120260@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>How do I remove Microsoft Office Trial form my Daughters new Sony Laptop (with Vista Installed).
