Vista and Microsoft Trial

franktennis

I have a fully validated Windows Vista operating system that was pre installed on my computer. However whenever i open a microsoft program eg word, i cannot type on it cos the trial period has elapsed. My product key is not working when i type it in which is highly annoying. What can i do?

Microsoft Office Word isn't part of Vista, You must pay for it. Your trial period You got is over, You must buy it or use another program.

This is a free alternative:

thats a windows vista key on your pc it will only allow you to reinstall vista if you have problems or change hard drive,

word is part of ms office and most pcs come with a demo lately.


you can buy office for about e80 and install it on 3 pcs, if you go for the free open office above remember to uninstall your office demo.

Depending where you work, you may be able to get Office for peanuts under the home use programme if your employer is a Microsoft volume licence customer.
