MS don't make it clear do they? So many computers are coming with trial
version of Office 2007, but there is nowhere to warn you to uninstall it
before installing a retail copy. It causes some strange symptoms if you
don't uninstall first.

I can't see why the trial version doesn't just let you enter a valid product
code for it to continue working seamlessly. Think of the savings for
everyone if you could just purchase a product code!

What a wild goose chase. I finally called HP tech support, and they
suggested I remove any reference to the 60 day trial version, and then
uninstall Office 2007. I did and it's all done. I have no idea why I
started getting the messages I reported. So I am done. This W7 machine
is 80 days old, so I've got a long way to go on their support.

I've probably posted over 200 messages with the signature file that
include nuclear power, and not a single person has complained. I've
probably posted 20K messages, even 30-40K messages, with my name and
geolocation, and maybe 5 people had something to about it. So get used to
it. Mail programs have a provision for sig files, so why not use it?
