    Hi. Hope someone dares to bother about my little question.

    I bought an ACER Travelmate 55100 with Office 2007 preinstalled (trial-period with 50 starts). Well, I dumped it right away, uninstalled it and cleaned up the acer as good as I could from various file leftovers.

    My question now is, why am I still getting update files for this Office suite on Windows Update and where do these update files go on my laptop? I mean, isn't there a prescan of my computer checking what files and updates I may need?

    Thanx for your time!

    Hello Koojote,

    Thank you for posting with us in the Vista Forum :-). First I must say what you are experiencing falls outside the support scope of Vista and should be posted in our Office Genuine Advantage forum. There may be Office 2007 file remenants left behind after you performed the uninstallation.     In an attempt to assist I would like to provide the following information, however if the issue persists I would recommend you contact Microsoft Office support and create a support incident.  See below:

    Here you will find detailed instructions for removing beta & trail versions of Office 2007 programs. Please look at the following Knowledge Base (KB) article:
