From: MortMan on 12 Mar 2010 17:16 My XP Laptop computer died (Windows just stopped working--would not boot up. I had XP Office programs + Publisher on it. I bought a new laptop (VISTA) with a trial version of Office 2007. Do I have to buy the programs again? I think I've bought them several times already over the years--I started with Excel 1.0 for the MAC in the early 80s.

As long as you still have the disc and the key you're ok. -- "Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you."
From: Susan Ramlet on 12 Mar 2010 18:49 I would uninstall the 2007 Trial Version (and Activation Assistant) if you don't want them, then install Office XP with your installation media and legally-obtained product key (as Michael mentions). If the activation doesn't work, then you may need to try the telephone method of activation because your hardware has changed since the original installation. -- Susan Ramlet **please reply to the newsgroup so others may benefit** "Michael" <mdsjhu(a)gropumail.com> wrote in message news:5915F0CF-3BEC-470A-93AF-A604F6CDAC2A(a)microsoft.com... > "MortMan" <MortMan(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:9B721082-8356-48D3-AB70-E6643CEF5821(a)microsoft.com... >> My XP Laptop computer died (Windows just stopped working--would not boot >> up. >> I had XP Office programs + Publisher on it.

Office XP is not fully compatible with Vista, or Win7, that being said most problems centre on Outlook. If you have a retail version of OfficeXP simply install it, having first uninstalled the Trial & Activation Assistant via add/remove, rebooted, then run MSUpdate "MortMan" <MortMan(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:9B721082-8356-48D3-AB70-E6643CEF5821(a)microsoft.com... > My XP Laptop computer died (Windows just stopped working--would not boot > up. > I had XP Office programs + Publisher on it.
