I just recently bought a CQ62 laptop notebook,I'm trying to get the excel and word program to work for preinstalled 7,When I enter the product key number it keeps saying I have the wrong number,I found the number on the bottom of the processor and made sure it was entered right everytime ,but it keeps saying its wrong,what do I got to do to get this thing to work?

The alpha numeric string on the bottom of the computer is for Windows 7.
The trial version of Office, if that is what is installed, needs to be purchased. You will get a different serial number for Office.

Looking at the specs here

Microsoft Office Home and Student Edition 2007 (60-day trial) is what is on the computer. When you purchase it, you will get an email with a serial number to change from the 60 day trial version to a working version.

So after 60 days if I wanted to use excel I would have to pay for it ?

You could also consider using Open Office ... http://download.openoffice.org/... it does exactly what M Office does except for Outlook Express. .

This 2008 version of Softmaker Office is also good.

Note, the 2010 version is a paid version.
