Asian Character pop-up?
I purchased Office Professional 2007 in CD form from an online vendor. The
certificate of authenticity was ok. I installed the program successfully; however, a blue star icon appears on my startup tray and a small window pops up when I call an Office program. The window has several buttons and is all in Asian characters. One button makes the window go away. The other takes me to a page selling Microsoft Office but, again, all in Asian characters. I cannot delete the star icon and the window pops up each time I use a program. How can I get rid of the icon and stop the pop-up? -- Bill |

Asian Character pop-up?
As I said the certificate of authenticity was ok. All Office programs work
fine, by the way. It is only the pop-up that concerns me. Could the problem with the Asian pop-up be caused by a trial version of Office 2007, which I installed on the same system and used? Do I need to uninstall that? -- Bill "Michael" wrote: "Bill" wrote in message ... I purchased Office Professional 2007 in CD form from an online vendor. The certificate of authenticity was ok.

How can I get rid of the icon and stop the pop-up?
By purchasing a legal version of Office. The COA that you claim to have comes in many different forms and shapes on a version that is not legal. Just for the heck of it can you tell us what kind of hologram (picture) is on the front of your install CD along with the Part No.. -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.

You definitely need to fully uninstall the trial version.

The CD has an geometric pattern on the top half. The bottom half is covered
with lines repeating Genuine Microsoft. Overall the CD is a rosy-beige metalic color and reflects the red-blue spectrum as the disc is tilted in the light. There are 3 small holograms. Upper right is a rounded rectangle that changes from the word Office to the cloverleaf symbol for Office 2007. This overlaps a rhomboid with 2007 horizontally that changes to Office vertically. Lower center is an oblong lozenge that changes from GENUINE to Microsoft The Part No. is X12-01445-01. Bill "Peter Foldes" wrote: How can I get rid of the icon and stop the pop-up?

Uninstalling the trial version seems to have ended the pop-up. Thanks for

You also need to uninstall the activation assistant.

Correction: After uninstalling the trial version of Office 2007, the Asian
pop-up has appeared once during hours of work in Excel. All elements of Excel that I have used so far are fully functional. -- Bill "Bill" wrote: Uninstalling the trial version seems to have ended the pop-up.
