Office 2007 non-commercial use + Code 78F when updating

[AP]

Hi All,

Have a couple questions relating a Vista/Office 2007.

We bought a sony vaio laptop that came pre-intalled with a trial license of
office 2007.
I un-installed Office completely and install a fresh copy of our partner
license copy of office 2007, but when loading any office application now its
shows 'Microsoft Outlook non-commercial use' and same for word,excel, etc.

Anyone have any idea why this is?

Second question is relating to windows updates in Vista;
I get an error Code 78F when trying to install any update, and the soultions
i try doesnt seem to resolve this issue.

Bit stuck at the moment doing updates and also looks quite bad i have a
legit copy of office but still shown the non-commercial use prompt.

Any help/feedback on resolving this appreciated.

do you recall what the trial version was? that splash screen should only
come up if it was the student /home version.

did you reboot after uninstalling? that mighta caused it to keep some of the
other code.

Yes this is a pain.

My notebook is showing it too even though a fullly licensed version of
office was loaded.

The reg keys seem to have the text in them and thought one could just
remove the wording but this didn't work.

So maybe some other value is set somewhere...

on non-commercial use, uninstall office 2007 completely and reboot then
reinstall. Make sure all office 2007 apps are completely uninstalled...
