reinstalling office 2007 pro from burned disc

Feb 13, 2010 2:57AM PST

I installed a (legal licensed) copy of office 2007 pro on my computer, burned a copy to keep on hand, and returned to original to the director of the animal rescue group for which I volunteer. Two months later my brand new hard drive crashed, and I lost everything, including the program. After the new hard drive was installed, I tried to reinstall the software from the disk I made, but it doesn't work. I get error message 1713.

My computer is a new Lenovo, running Windows Vista, Intel Pentium 2.20 GHz processor, with 4 GB of RAM. The software worked fine the first time I installed it.

I'd reinstall from the original disk, but someone else in the group borrowed and didn't return it after installing, or lost it or something. Any advice would be appreciated, as I'm reduced to using my old Office 2000 again.

Free download...

You can download the Office 2007 trial version, then activate it with your legitimate key.

However, I must note that the Office 2007 EULA only permits two installations per license, one on a desktop and one on a laptop, both primarily owned/used by the same person. Each person in the group can share the disc, but must have his/her own license.

We actually had 6 licenses with the disk.

Thanks, I'll try what you suggested.
