Office 2007 error 1406
I purchased Office 2007 (CD with Activation key) Home Student a few years ago. And I want to install it on my new Acer Win 7 64-bit Laptop. But, I'm getting a error 1406 about 3\4 of the way through the install when it tried to write to the registry keys (said I don't have privilege to write to registy, I have admin rights on all user accounts (and file system error?)). And Locks appear on the User's that were used for the failed install. I tried 2 different user accounts and it happened on both after the failed install
I have the Office 2010 starter install and I can't uninstall it. I tried add remove programs, manually uninstall the registry with Regedit (found in the Microsoft forums) and the Microsoft FixIt Office 2010 uninstaller. It is still there after a restart. And My Computer still had the Microsoft Office 2010 Cilck-to-Run (Q) (Protected).
It gets even better, I restored to the day before I tried to uninstall Office 2010 Starter and now that has an activation error. So, I can't use the Starter version either. I am now using the OpenOffice.org software.
How do I uninstall the Office 2010 Starter?
Do I need a Replacement Activation Key for the 2007, that has been used before and it's no longer in use on the old dead laptop?
Or is it the Office 2010 Starter and (Q) (Protected) that is blocking me from writting to the registry?
