Yeah, thats part of thje problem too. When I do the custom install there are
no idicators as to what ones are 'perpetual license' and which are trail....I
do know Basic does not come with Access, Powerpoint, and Publisher so I did
not install those, I don't know if there is something else hidden in there
somewhere that I need to uninstall as well. My trail period has expired, it
would be nice if it asked me if I wanted to remove pro but it doesn't...just
keeps popping up the screen to purchase Pro every time I open my picture
manager and then locks it up so I can't use it. Anyone know of a link to
download basic and basic only? I just want to use my picture manager again,
thats all.

Hi Cafers,

The product CD you have is the Office 2007 'hybrid'. Office 2007 products are modularized and can be combined, although this may
not be one anyone expected g.

As you noted it is a single Office product that contains both
Office 2007 Basic (OEM) edition (licensed) and
Office 2007 Professional Trial
edition components. In Add/Remove Programs in the Windows control panel the hybrid products is usually listed as simply
Microsoft Office 2007
(i.e. no qualifying edition name suffix is listed)

Both parts of the hybrid product, (the trial and the perpetual[licensed] features) may have come preinstalled on a PC, and that is
also the default installation. If you choose custom installation when first installing, or go to the custom installation screen
after installation there should be indicators of which items are 'perpetual license' and which are trial and you should be able to
set the trial features to 'Not available' state or simply let them expire at the end of the ~60 day trial period.

The Office Picture Manager should be part of all of the Office editions, including the hybrid, the Professional Edition and the
Basic-OEM edition.

OK, I tried to uninstall everything again and reinstall to see if I missed
something....same poroblem. The CD is called Microsoft Office Basic 2007
with Office Professional 2007 Trail. It says this suite contains Word 2007,
Excel 2007, and Outlook 2007......these all work fine. The problem is with
MS picture manager, I was told it is included in all Office 2007 suites but
it acts as if it is part of the pro suite only. Thanx for your help by the
way, it is greatly appreciated....same with you JoAnn!!
