New PC - Can't uninstall office 2003 trial, therefore cannot install office 2000

[Dave Smithz]

AAHAHHHHHHHHRRRHHG

A brand new PC from MESH (UK). All this cr*p preinstalled that I do not
want. Try uninstalling office 2003 60 day trial through control panel.

While "Gathering required information..." is displayed, gets half way and
then nothing. Left it for a good hour, no progress.

Try then to just install Office 2000 over it (which I own and am happy with)
no joy as it tries to uninstall first.

What can I do?

PLEASE HELP!!!! I'm getting far too stressed about this.

Cheers

Dave

Didn't fancy a decent system from a decent company then? You obviously did
no homework before purchase...

What is the requirement period to remember MVPs who we have never met? It looks like all idiots out there have joined the band wagon to insert a tag line which I am sure they don't mean it!

Also, what is wrong in buying a cheap machine once every 16 months just to read emails and download porn? Surely a machine is a machine whether you pay $2000 or $500 for basic functionality!

Dave,

Make sure your bios is set to read from the CD drive first then I would save
my important files to CD or disk and format the c: drive. Then load all your
software from scratch. It will save you headaches from any other trial
software as well.
