Today, all my Microsoft applications refused to open unless I paid money. It took me a little while to identify the problem. Evidently near the end of 2004, someone (this typically means I am blaming my wife) loaded &#8220;Office 2004 Test Drive&#8221; on my Mac. Evidently, today was the first time I opened a file created with a Microsoft product on this particular machine in the new year.<\/p>\n<p>I do not use the Office 2004 Test Drive applications but the installation of this product must have somehow modified my Office v.X applications (or supporting files). I removed the Office 2004 Test Drive file and this turned out to be a mistake. I should have run an uninstall program in the &#8220;Test Drive&#8221; folder to remove Test Drive and the altered Office v.X and then reinstalled my Office v.X files (luckily I could find the installation disk or I would have been forced to pay a ransom to Redmond).<\/p>\n<p>In case, you encounter a similar problem you can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/mac\/support.aspx\">download<\/a> a copy of &#8220;Test Drive&#8221; (DO NOT INSTALL) and run the uninstall program. I have no suggestions if you cannot locate your original install disk. <\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_627\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"627\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/learningaloud.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lately, I seem to be running into a major technology problem each day.
