I just purchased a Dell studio one from a pawn shop and chose not to wipe it clean with new OS because of the touchscreen software. My problem is I can't download the trial version of MS Office on it (Home and Student ver) because it says there must have been a trial version on this pc before. I need this software because it's the only compatible format to my school's online blackboard and I'm in the middle of an online course. I can't afford to buy it right now. Help please!

Well try to see if the previous Office is still present in your programs, as it may still be sharing registry etc. you'll need to clean the regitry to remove the files. Then try download the offline setup for Office? Btw is it office 2007 or 2010?
