HAHA, I have tried that already. It does not give you the option to
install
only Basic, it installs pro automatically with it. You can do a custom
install but it does not tell you what programs are included with you basic
and which ones are only a trial so I have gone through and told it I don't
want Access, Powerpoint, and Publisher but it still tells me my picture
manager is a trail....I don't have basic only, the disks I have all
include
the pro trail...I don;t even know if you can get just basic anywhere...its
not on the website....only OEM when you get your system.

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!!
