Thread: MS Office 2007

Macca check Microsofts Site for a fix.

MS Office 2007 is old, download and install all the updates ~300-400Mbts for the fix.

I take it that you have broadband, your OS is legal, validated and updated...?

And, by the way run one of the Office prgms to validate the suite (it accesses the MS web server)...

Thanks for the replies.
Went to MS site and downloaded all the updates and patches.
Yes Cured, all is legal and above board.

No change still have to register and validate after every reboot.

Download a pirate copy and install that instead. Same functionality, no activation hassles. Once again the free copy is superior in ways other than price. (I haven't seen one of these anti-piracy measures actually work - all they seem to do is punish legitimate purchasers.)

Or install Open Office - it's more than compatible with Office 2007.

And it is FREE. If you find a bug and report it then it will be fixed very quickly.

Ok, The next thing to look at is your software firewall? Try disablng it for the reg. and valid. If your not running some sort of software firewall with security/virus/spyware ie. Nortons, Mcfee, ZoneAlarm you may a have a virus?
I forgot to ask are you log on as administrator?

PS 1.Don't listen to loading pirate MS SW, MS downloads/updates and runs a validation prgm everytime prior to updates are downloaded. If your running pirate SW guest what happens next time you turn on the pc? Nothing, blue screen of death!
2. If your running Nortons 360 get rid of it, its useless and invasive. The sad part only a complete reload removes it. I resently diagnosed a neighbours PC who had Nortons 360 which did not detect the 27 virus, 288 spyware prgms on his HD that my Zonealarm detected and removed...

Hope this helps..

Hi Cured.
I am running Trend Micro Internet Security Pro. No security risks found.
I have disabled this during reg and validate. Did not fix.
I am logged on as administrator.

Thanks Macca

Errr, no, it doesn't.

My direct experience has been that the pirate versions actually work better as the validation code has had its teeth pulled, so it doesn't make your PC run through hoops every time the software loads.

You'll get problems if you are running an official, validated version and you change the motherboard and CPU, though. Perhaps that's what you have experienced?

If Office 2007 is still not working....and you have a spare hard disk - I'd install Windows on the spare drive, and install Office on there and see if that fixes the problem.

If it does...well, you know what you have to do....(or just install a pirate version that will never, ever nag you for activation, and will happily download updates and pass Windows Genuine Advantage checks just like a real one!).

Or the "Office 2007 activation crack" on the torrent sites is a mere 6.62 meg.

Or try the rather long and involved registry editing process mentioned here: www.mydigitallife.info/2009/08/28/workaround-to-disable-and-remove-oga-office-not-genuine-notifications-uninstall-kb949810/

I have given up. I just open Office early in the day and leave it open all day.
Thanks again to all.

I have never once had Open Office load a MS Word document that contained tables and have it look the same. From my memory of trawling through the OO websote they acknowledge this as an issue simply because MS don't release the formatting codes for Word to anyone and they are having to reverse engineer the whole lot. They are close but not perfect.

Tables in word processing documents are an abomination. There's nothing wrong with tab stops, except that people won't learn to use them.

In fact, any sort of advanced formatting in a word processing package is a sin against god. That's why there are desktop publishing packages!

(And MS Word's problems are why printers will ask you to supply them with a PDF of the document, not the word file....)

Hi all...........I have solved the problem with Office 2007.

After reading countless pages of how to fix it on Google and various forums I have decided.

I removed Office 2007 and reloaded the faithfull old Office 97.

All is as it should be. Minus a few dollars.
