So my Microsoft word 2007 told me in 13 days it will tell microsoft I have a non-genuine copy of office. How do I fix this without buying a whole new program? ---

If you have a friend that goes to ub, you can just make a copy of the software that they give out to students. Otherwise just download openoffice, I like it better in a lot of ways. ---

Add/Remove programs under control panel, go to view installed windows updates, and remove Office 2007 Genuine Advantage Notifications. Then it will work fine as long as you dont update it ---
