Windows Vista office 2007 document icons are all grayed-out even for new documents

im not using trial anymore but still all of the icons are grayed-out (or unclickable)

before this happened, i remember the microsoft office 2007 ask something about macros.. then i clicked on the enable macros and this is what happened.. what should i do?

Hiya,

When you say all of the icons, do you mean the ones that are at the top of word etc when you are in it, eg edit icons etc.

Cheers.

Try a repair install or a reinstall it should correct it, it sounds as if its still in trail mode and has not unlocked it self correctly, a reinstall with the key and activate it again should correct this.

i cant reinstall it.. they seem to be looking for the actual installation CD. i can't find that CD anywhere..

Try a repair install see if that helps, but without the disk you are pretty stuck I'm afraid
