Office 2010 Home and Student Crashes

So every time I open one of the programs lately (within the past few days), it allows me to open the program and get to a blank document/spreadsheet/notebook/presentation just fine. But the second I go to do ANYTHING, like click the "File" button or add
a table or click on anything or type anything, it freezes and does nothing. It then cannot be shut down using the task manager either, the only way to get it to close down is either to let it do its thing (which can take 30 minutes, sometimes) or restart the
computer. Word is utterly unusable, Excel is hit or miss, Powerpoint is alright and OneNote works fairly well. Here's the thing: when I originally purchased it, it allowed me to run the programs without entering a serial number. I have since lost the serial
key email and have never activated it. Could these issues be related to that? Because it also constantly tells me now that "Office is downloading the requested..." something or other. It only started recently, before then was just excellent, no issues. Are
there any fixes? Do I need to redownload Office? Because trying to get that serial key is like trying to pull teeth from a rabid tiger, since it's not showing up in my purchase history. HELP!
Computer is an HP Pavillion DM4 laptop with intel i5 processor running Windows 7 Home Premium. Brand new, purchased Office on this computer.

  • Reusing a license of Office 2010 Home and Student edition

    I installed all three licenses of Office 2010 Home and Student edition on my wife's and daughters laptops.  Last weekend, we had to buy my daughter a new laptop for college.  How do I uninstall the license from her current laptop and install
    it on her new laptop?  Her old laptop is gong to the recycle with a screen that is broken.

    Hi,
    Try to activate it by phone. I suggest you contact Microsoft Customer Service and Support, telephone (800) MICROSOFT (642-7676).
    In Canada, call (877)568-2495.
    Microsoft Customer Service hours of operation:
    Monday through Friday, 5:00 AM - 9:00 PM Pacific Time
    Saturday and Sunday, 6:00 AM – 3:00 PM Pacific Time
    I also want to re-assign one of three licences for this version of Office, but I went to the Support website, which prompted for the product ID and indicated that the "free support"period had expired.  Can the reassignment be organised at the time of
    activating on the new computer by phone?  Would a person be speaking with a human if doing a phone activation?  Will there be a charge and what's it likely to cost?
    I also have a suggestion for Microsoft: a de-activation routine that would enable the licence transfer process without the need for human support.

  • Re-assigning a retail license for Office 2010 Home and Student - any charge for support?

    I want to re-assign one of three licenses for Office, but I went to the Support website, which prompted for the product ID and indicated that the "free support"period had expired, presumably because it is 12 months since I first installed it. 
    Can the reassignment be organised at the time of activating on the new computer by phone?  Would a person be speaking with a human if doing a phone activation?  Will there be a charge and what's it likely to cost?
    I also have a suggestion for Microsoft: a de-activation routine that would enable the license transfer process without the need for human support.

    Hi
    Normally Office for a retail version can only be activated once at a time in one computer, Office 2010 Home &Student can be installed on three machines.
    If you have used up your activation times and want to transfer your Office to a new computer, contact Microsoft Customer Service and they will help you to activate your Office in a new machine:

  • Office 2010 home and student

    I am setting up a business that will depend on me being to change websites and some othern things so I really have multiple questions.
        First. This is a very sophisticated Sales system that is using multiple computers. I have Dell Desktop. Windows 8.1 full version. Dell Latitude LTE 8.1 that is an upgrade from 8.0. Nokia 2010 phone that I have seen both ways. It has the
    Black upgrade but one site I was on said I did not have 8.1 and one said I did ( I think that was the Microsoft ) store. And then I am using a Garmin GPS. I have to have trip software and it needs to load multiple addresses. This was for me for my sales territory
    but I think that is about to change.
       I have Office 2010 that is not a very old version but keeps coming up and saying it wants its product Key. I put it in and it checks out OK asks me to get out of office and reenter and it will run OK. I do that and it just keeps doing the same
    thing. This happened after loading the new 8.1.
        This is going to be a business application but the system took me almost a year. I am in project Sienna and have  a visual trial.  
    That I am learning to use. This is going to be business so I need business approval. I am determining if I need developers tools or not. I like developing but I have projects that are already developed and I am not really interested in developing for
    the store. I am going to probably run several web sites. One for Youtube and One for you.
       Plan is to help you both with Mapping.  I am kind of an odd associate but I have witnessed the interest from you and Google on my mapping. I use the Dell tablet for PDF catalogs and Pricing and then The GPS to get me there. The
    desktop for geosinking addresses and a lot of office paper work. The phone has multiple uses. The camara,quick emails, and aps that has all kinds of uses.  
      This is not a fluke I have been working on this for 20 years. The tablets just wont do the job. 2 pounds to heavy,2" to large,2 minutes to slow on boot and it looks like a computer and the older guys don't like it. The tablet changed all that.
    With that said I will be trying to contact your Mapping Division and see if they need me. The system is very difficult to install. Four different computers must talk to each other about the same thing and multiple small problems arise and must be solved. I
    can only at most do 2 systems a month and depending on their equipment they have and want to use maybe only 1. This is to important for that. It saves 2 1/2 hours a day for people who must find a lot of addrsses. That was unexpected. It happens all day long.
    The GPS is saving 10 minutes here and 20 minutes there and ends up saving at least 2 hours a day. Now the icing on the cake. I made 15 calls in one day between 9:00AM and 3:30 PM. These were leisurely calls. When I leave in about 4 days they are going
    to luv me. What I realized while testing this was that most of the stress from an outside sales job was just getting there. When you take that stress off of that job it goes back to being a fun job that is fun to do. You punch the button on the GPS and it
    will go from call to call for as long as you want and pick back up the next day from where you left off. I tried both the phones and tablets for mapping but those really would only work for finding an address here and there. You overload the phone and the
    tablet to try to combine a very sophisticated trip program with them. The tablet would have a very hard time being mounted on the dash and then you pull it out of its mounting to go in and make a call with it. Then try to Email your order in and then put it
    back in the mounting to use as a GPS. The same problem with the phone. It has a very important job with what it does and is overloaded for really a lot of reasons to give it the mapping. Again it would be fine and actually very good to go find one address
    but to start trying to get it to do industrial numbers of calls is just asking to much of one unit. GPS has serious job to do. It is left in the car while you are making the call. It is ready to go when you get back in the car. This is an industrial system
    with serious attempst to save time and money and improve the lives of the people using it. Kindest,Larry Don
      PS this is to important for me to go out 1 account a month with. This will enhance the whole computer industry and needs to be with the big boys and girls that can put together a serious marketing program behind it. Please get this to the right people.

  • Microsoft Office 2007 Home and Student crashes when saving

    I might scream from the frustration this is causing me! Every time I try to save a document in word, it crashes. It used to be every time, and now, if I'm lucky, it will save once in a blue moon. No idea what makes it decide to occasionally. Excel is now
    doing the same thing, although I don't believe it was at first. I contacted Microsoft, and was walked through several troubleshooting techniques, none of which resolved the issue. I have obviously googled the problem and tried a few of the solutions there,
    again to no avail. This is my last semester of my senior year, and I NEED to have this fixed like yesterday!! Anyone able to help?!

    Hi
    Is it crashing on the same file location or on different locations?
    Have you tried repairing your office installation? Can you open word or excel in safe mode and test if the same occurs?

    Hi Raghavendar,
    Generally, when you install Lync 2013 in the computer with Office 2010, a Lync Meeting Add-in will be installed and enabled in Outlook 2010. Please follow these steps to check it:
    1. In Outlook, click the File tab, click Options, and then click
    Add-Ins.
    2. Please take one of the following actions:
    If the add-in is in the Inactive Application Add-ins list, follow these steps:
    a. In the Manage drop-down list at the bottom of the dialog box, click
    COM Add-ins, and then click Go.
    b. Click to select the check box next to the add-in, and then click OK.
    The New Online Meeting button should now be available in
    Calendar View, and the Online Meeting button should be available when you create a new calendar item.
    If the add-in is in the Disabled Application add-ins list, follow these steps:
    a. In the Manage drop-down list at the bottom of the dialog box, click
    Disabled Items, and then click Go.
    b. Select the add-in, and then click Enable.
    c. Restart Outlook, and then verify that the add-in is displayed in the
    Add-ins dialog box.
    The New Online Meeting button should now be available in
    Calendar View, and the Online Meeting button should now be available when you create a new calendar item.
    3. In Event Viewer, view the Application log to see whether an error was logged for Outlook, for Lync 2013, the Lync Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office 2013.

  • Trial version of Microsoft Office 2011 Home and Student

    Where do I go to online to download a free trial version of Microsoft Office 2011 Home and Student? I need to enter in an access key because my MacBook Air doesn't have a CD drive.

    Look on the MS Office 365 website for links to the download version. You could also buy an External DVD drive that connects by USB port. Any brand will work with your Mac Air. It does not have to have the Apple name on it for it to work on your Air.

  • MS Office 2010 Home & Student 2010 on Window 8.1

    Hi All,
    I recently purchased a new laptop that comes with Window 8.1 as well as a complimentary Office 2010 Home and Student.
    I have followed the instruction to download via www.office.com/productkeycard and saved on my desktop. However, upon completing the download, I can't seems to open the file to run installation. It ask me to select where to open a file, which none seems to
    be suitable. I was expecting auto-run.
    Just wonder if this is a compatibility issue or am I missing something to run the file?
    Regards,
    Tony

    It seems you have downloaded a ISO image file for Office 2010.
    To install from it, you need to burn into a disk and run from that.
    In addtion, check the following lnk:

  • Office Home and Student 2010 Install problems with a Key Code Err..

    I had to install a new hard drive, lost everything..So I upgraded to Windows 7 Professional ..
    I own a the 2010 Home and Student CD bought at the Microsoft store...Doesn't come with Outlook...
    So I ordered the Home and Business 2010 disc with Service Pack 1 Included, this has 2010 outlook ...It loaded and worked fine up to the point I had to replace my Drive with New Windows 7 Pro...
    Everything loaded find, but every time I try and use it, its acts like it is caught in some kind of loop...It keep trying install and configure, then ask for my Key Code every time, sort of like a OLMAP132.Dll err...I did manage to make it work once, I even
    got back the test email from Microsoft after setting up Outlook....Then when I rebooted the system, this same loop action started ...
    I have uninstalled this at least 4 times, searched for anything with ties to Microsoft office, and uninstalled it..Then did a New Clean Install...Still getting this key Code question every time I open up a Office program....So, I am saying without a doubt,
    2010 Office Home and Student and Business WILL NOT RUN on Windows 7 professional ......If you have any idea how to fix this..Please respond with facts on how to repair this please....

    Greta,,,After down loading ( Off Cat ) tools...I saved that program...However, there is another major problem with Your Instructions I ran into...It seems I'm not the trusted source to change files such as the Mapi32.dll files..So I was unable to attempt
    your repair ...However I have found instructions for the task, but it seems very complicated for sure.. Here are the instructions, and I  would like for you and maybe a co-worker to check these.. before I make any changes in system..
    How to Change the Trusted Installer name...
    1. Right Click on the File Or directory.
    2.Click On properties, on the Right Click menu.
    3.Click On "" Security "" tab
    4.Click On " Advanced" Button on the bottom.
    5.In the advance Security Dialog Window, Click on "" Owner "" tab
    6.Here you will able to see the Current Owner ( ie: Trusted Installed )
    7. To take owner ship of the object, click on the Edit button, Give permission to UAC , the highlight the user name in the " Change Owner To" box that you want to assign as the owner for the object. Then Click " OK " to finish the process.
    8.Back in the Advanced Security Settings Window , You will see the current owner has changed to the user you just selected.
    9.Click the ""OK "" and exit this window.
    10. Click "'OK"" again, to exit completely from the Properties window..
    11. Repeat Step 1 to 4 to open the object's Properties Window again...
    12.Back in Object's Properties window, click on the edit button , and confirm the UAC elevation request.
    13. Highlight the Administrators in the " group of users names"" box. If the user ID or group that you want to manage the permissions for the object doesn't exist, Click on.."" Add"" button, and type in the user name or
    group name desired into the "" Enter Object names to select ( can use Everyone as user Name)" box and finish off by clicking on the "" OK""
    14. In the permissions for Administrators box below ( or any other user name or group name you choose). click on ""Full Control"" under the ""Allow"" column to assign full access rights control permission to Administrator's
    group....

  • MS Office 2010 upgrade Home and Student to Home and Business

    Hello,
    I have to change Office versions on a couple of computers from Home and Student to Home and Business. I intend to uninstall the current versions then install the new ones. Presumably the license keys "liberated" can be reused on other computers. Is that
    correct?
    As far as I can tell, MS provides no way to recover a key. There are several utilities on the net that claim to do that. How reliable are they?
    Thanks in advance
    Philippe

    Hi,
    For a preloaded Office version you can locate the product key on you computer.
    If you purchased a Product Key Card, please locate the key on it.
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/find-your-office-2010-product-key-HA101832538.aspx
    If you lost the product key, try this:

    More information about licenses usage:
    Q:Can I install Office Home and Business 2010 and Office Professional 2010 on more than one PC?
    A:It depends on what you purchase—a Traditional Disc or Product Key Card. If you purchase a Traditional Disc retail license of Office Home and Business 2010 or Office Professional 2010, the retail license terms allow you to install, activate, and use Office
    Home and Business 2010 or Office Professional 2010 on your primary PC and your portable device such as your laptop. This license is for your use exclusively.
    If you purchase an Office 2010 Product Key Card, you can only activate and use the suite on one PC or device. For more information on the license you have purchased and to obtain an overview of your licensing agreement, visit the
    Microsoft Software License Terms (MSLT)
