    Hello crystal101381,

    Are you having trouble using Windows, or perhaps the trial of Office that came with the computer?

    If the trial of Office, once the free trial period is over, you have to purchase a perpetual license to continue to use the Office software.  You can purchase a product key directly from Microsoft online, or you can purchase a copy of Office Home and Student 2007 at a local retailer and use the product key inside the package to convert the trial installation to a perteptually licensed installation.
