please please help before i smash my lap top!

the trial period is over usually 60 days. you can open your file but can't edit it because the toolbars now are not functioning.

go to souq nere by sofitel old hotel there are many shop they can help u

since the toolbars are all locked then you have to purchase a new one online then they will give you an activation code or you can purchase it here uninstall the previous one then install the new software package.

hear no evil ... see no evil ... speak no evil

Call REDINGTON QATAR at 4551608 and inquire there. I brought my Toshiba laptop there also.

[quote:] "i can still open the files i saved before, but cant do any adjustment."

This means the Office package isn't authorised and you need to buy a registration key over the internet or buy the software at Jarir bookstore..

vegas, u must be kidding right? this one is my laptop nr. 2 just got it less then 6months ago. i must be rich as you, to afford a new laptop every 6months.lol

Your problem is not related to warranty. I am afraid your files are saved as protected files.

Try to uninstall office and then install it again. If the problem persists, look for Open Office at www.openoffice.org

It is compatible with MS office and it is legal and free ===================================== http://www.qatarliving.com/node/58409

Just check the software that you got with the laptop, cds etc u will find a registration key/ CD key use that to register the Office online and it'll start working

to be franck i normaly work on pirated items, cracked down and sold in lebanon. the only original i might buy r encarta and chessmaster. but window, or office, or... well i get them for 1$. sorry bill gates and authors rights.

what bothers me is why purshase anything from switzerland!! i was there last week. everything is way more expensive than germany and france! taking into account that the swiss franc is 0.9 US$ while the euro is 1.35, everything in switzerland is expensive.

drsam if that is the problem, then it means that the copy you have has exceeded the 3 installation conditions I think..

jarir is the best solution.

about not being able to make changes to ur document, try opening it, select all and save it under a different file name, and work on this new copy.

I think panda is right. Where did you buy the MS Office from? like I said above if is asking you for registration then that means you have to buy it on line or you have to reinstall a proper MS Office copy. Normall MS Office (home use) only allows 3 installations per one copy.

I hope it helps..

Hey feefee.. If it is bought from Switzerland and it is less than 1 year old then, it means that it is still under International Warrranty.

I have similar Toshiba Laptop bought from Uk a few years ago and a similar problem.

In Doha there are Toshiba agents where you can take your laptop and they fix it for you free of charge as it is less than 1 year old. Now your problem is not to do with Toshiba laptop but with MS Word which is not part of what you bought.

I guess that you have bought and installed MS Office your self? Normally the MS Word and other MS Office software are offered on Toshiba laptops as a sample for may be 30 days or something and which you have to buy the MS office.

Anyway cutting the long story short. Please take the Laptop to Jareer Bookshop/workshop at the back, or to Toshiba opposite Jareer Book Shop in Al Mannai building.

Was nice to see you lttle one and your Haubby on Friday..:)
