I need to reactivate my office. A message saying it had been disabled had a box to clik to reactivate, but this has no effect.

Problem may have been caused when computer is locked & I had to turn it off by pressing the Start button in IE.

I have a click with the right button on the desktop, clicking Properties & tried a few options without success.

    Yes and no it seems that if the file is a .doc or .pdf, that it does not load properly. But if I bring him in a Final Draft format, it works perfectly.

    Hi Jeff,

    To make a long story short

    I managed to get access to the limited WARRANTY statement today after a long session with the customer. Confusion with the login resulted from the long period of time since the purchases and long-lost information. I was trying to login to LWS with my own personal login and not the original credentials are most well-known. When I logged on adobe.com with my personal login, he showed the 2 products saved on my account, so the confusion as to why I could not access the LWS. The products were actually recorded under the account of the company under the long-lost login that I managed to pick it up today.

    However, there was always a hurdle. Because we asked digital media with the initial purchase (DVD set), I was told that we don't have access to download the content. At the purchase we thought that we had to pay extra for the DVD media as an additional layer of protection against future problems), certainly never well that pay extra for disks, would be to ban content from Adobe downloads. Uh, won't make this mistake again.

    So, with the discs original picked up from the office, I managed to install the Design Premium on my new computer. It seems that the only downside of the installation from the original disks vs download since the LWS is it seems I can't update anything, if I try to update just said that there are no updates available at this time. I guess that updates are no longer available, where to download the LWS is probably completely up to date with some bugs came after the media.

    That said, we decided to improve the Design Premium to CS6 and I expect an answer by e-mail on their part so I can complete the transaction.

    Thanks so much for your help in this matter, because without it, I would probably be laying on the ground, screaming and pulling my hair out now!

    Kind regards

  • The feature does not work after the upgrade of my Lightroom Version 6.4 is installed now my slide show and I am presented with an error message saying "video support is disabled.

    It would be good that someone from Adobe has responded to my request

    This is a known bug. Just go to the slideshow module and return to the library. The impromptu slideshow should work then.

  • BTYahoo mail, YouTube and Flickr all display messages saying that I need to update to Firefox, but I use 3.6

    I have installed Firefox 3.6.12, but BTYahoo Mail, YouTube, and Flickr all seem to think that I'm still using 2.0. In fact, even the form that I was briefed on this support site says that I use 2.0!

    I tried to uninstall and reinstall without removing the plugins, extensions etc, but this has not solved the problem.

    Is it possible I can fix without having to remove all my plugins etc and do a reinstall complete?

    You need to reset your user agent string (identifies the version of Firefox in use). Your user agent string is:

    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en - us; RV:1.9.2.10) Gecko/20100914 YFF35 Firefox/2.0 MEGAUPLOAD 1.0 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

    It is indicative of the other sites that you have Firefox 2.0. A part of the string is rv:1.9.2.10, the version number indicates that you have Firefox 3.6.10 rather than 3.6.12

    To reset your user agent string, follow the instructions in the article sites say that Firefox is obsolete or incompatible, even if it's the latest version . Check your version of Firefox after you have reset the user agent string (in the Help menu select "about Mozilla Firefox"), if it has Firefox 3.6.10 you must update Firefox.

  • You need to install MS Office Pro 2007 on new computer after motherboard crashed on the old computer.

    I have a license for MS Office Pro 2007 (US only) (OEM) that came with a new Dell laptop.  The motherboard on the computer crashed and I bought a new computer (Dell no).  Of course, I can't uninstall Office from your old computer.  Can I use my existing license to install/activate the Office on my new computer.  The new computer has the trial version which allows 25 uses.  My product key does not work because it has not been uninstalled or disabled (I guess).

    Your product key does not work because you can not use it to "move" from an edition of the trial and because it has already been used (on the other system).  You must do it manually and I do not know the manual process for Office products.  As an OEM license, I do not think it can be moved to another machine - but if this applies to operating systems, I am not sure that it applies to the Office products (I've never had this issue before).  It may be perfectly fine once you uninstall the trial and download the appropriate version of Microsoft.  You need to ask the experts.

    Please repost your question in the Forums Office: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/officeinstall/threads where specialists in office wil be more than happy to answer your question.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
