P.S. and please explain it very simply in English, and not in computer jumbo mumbo...
Thank you....Mucho Gracias

It appears that you have to specify which language you want before you download the executable. Go here and see if this helps.

LawVixen, Unfortunately there are many non-Microsoft sites out there that have out-of-date and/or beta versions of this software. The version you originally downloaded was an unauthorized Spanish-only release that found its way to one of those sites. In addition, earlier releases of software are frozen-out once newer versions become available, that's probably why your 8.0 version won't let you in.
In the following discussion I assume that you have a recent consumer version of Windows and that you are not trying to install it in an office environment where there may be a central computer known as a server.
Your first step is to use the 'Uninstall Software' tool in Windows, this is the only way to be sure that it is truly 'gone', deleting it from your Desktop or Start menu won't completely remove it. Then go to this official Microsoft site, click to see that you meet the system requirements (basically XP SP2 or Vista), then follow the download instructions.

Good luck and please let me know if it doesn't work for you.

Okay.. Law if you still getting spanish on the software you downloaded you can do this...
Go into add/remove progams and delete that software that you loaded up on the box..
After you do that restart your computer.. then go back in and download it again using
english version ..then also restart... everytime you do any software changes to your computer you should restart even if it say you don't have to.. restart restart...
If ya need to email me..
