Hi Yomanchamcru,

Has anyone else had access to your PC? This is the kind of thing some service techs might do if they do some work on your system.

When you say office 2010 disappeared, did Office 2007 appear instead? If so, did you uninstall Office 2007 before reinstalling office 2010?

Have you checked for viruses & other rogue software? From your description, it's possible some trojan has hijacked your system.



As for the going mad bit, I can't comment ... The fact the PC's behaviour is abnormal doesn't give me enough information to diagnose your sanity (or lack thereof)!

Thanks, Macropod, much appreciated.

Actually that would make a lot of sense if it were Trojan-related, my hotmail got hacked for the first time ever in February and when I looked at the install date for 2007 (as I was uninstalling it), it said February. I ran a full scan at the time and, after a few password changes, thought I'd cleared everything up, but maybe not...

I reinstalled 2010 and then uninstalled 2007 (imagining it would just default to using 2010 instead of this silly trial 2007) - why, is there a significance to doing one before the other?

Am pretty sure I was going slightly mad anyway..!
