If they have given you the reg key then installing it isn't a problem. A lot of computers that come with OEM software have it installed already as a 30 day trial, much the same as they have Norton installed as a trial.

I was supposed to get an email from MS to download Office.  I never got the email, and Dell is trying to get it sent.....four days later and counting.

Maybe I should elaborate.  According to Dell this past week, there will be no more discs or pre-loading for software.  It's all downloads from an email.  Since I never got the email and have been on the phone for about 4.5 hours total now with 3 different tech services guys from Dell over three days, it seems they haven't worked the kinks out of this system yet.

Thanks Zokah and LQ.  Both work.  I wonder how managed to make it small especially since I got my mouse today?

Do you have cats?  My cats are always messing with my computer settings.  The dog just ordered pay-per-view porn. 

My little dog likes the animal noises . . .

What did your dog watch?  Were they doing it doggie style?

I have 4 dogs, 5 aquariums of fish, 17 chickens, 4 ducks, 2 guinea fowl, and 1 stray cat who won't let me near it living in my garage and laundry room.  I'm certain the stray cat has kittens; I just don't know where.

I can't blame any of them for my ineptitude with computers.

In reference to my posts on not getting MS Office.  it seems the email to download went to spam.  I found it and corrected it.  4.5 hours on the phone with Dell including them rooting around in my email, and they didn't find it.

When I got my first computer in 1998, my cat who is still alive and now lives with my 93 year old grandmother managed to move the mouse to the aol icon and double click on aol launching my email.  He didn't type in my password.

My dog not only watvhes the TV, but also recognizes characters and animals.  When he sees an animal, he runs to the screen and barks like crazy at it.  I'm going to wall mount the 55" soon.  I'm tired of cleaning nose prints off the screen.

I sometimes wonder if his harrrrumpfs during Jeopardy are his attempts to give the right question.
