I have just recently got a new computer a Dell XPS 420 and purchased with it Office Basic 2007. The installation disk was also supplied.
I decided that I did not want Outlook as I am only a home user and did not require all the stuff on Outlook and now use Windows Live for my email. I wrongly thought that if I uninstalled Office 2007 and reinstall without Outlook that this was solve the problem. I since learned that I could have disabled Outlook without uninstalling the programme.
On trying to reinstall the programme I was asked for the registration code which I have, on the typing in the code I found that it would not accept the last two digits, several times I tried but without success.
I now cannot use the programme. I also believe that it is an OEM version supplied by Dell so I would be unable to get any info from Microsoft. I am also still waiting for a reply from Dell.
Does anyone have any ideas of how to get this programme running again?
