Actually I think I have found the problem-Microsoft Enterprise 2007 in showing up on my installed programs list despite the fact I have used an uninstaller program and actually booted into Safe Mode and dragged everything out of there and into the recycler.
How do I uninstall the old installation??
The best way is to use the un-install option before you manually delete parts of the system.
As you are already past this point have a look here ....
How to manually uninstall the 2007 Office system if you cannot uninstall it by using the "Add or Remove Programs" feature
Follow the Vista instructions
Installed Office 2003-my friend had a copy. I will do a clean install of Windows 7 this weekend so I can install Office 2007.
Ok I am back at home. I did not have to reinstall anything on my desktop-Office 2007 works perfectly. I am still not sure how to get Office 2007 on my laptop without reintalling Windows 7? Anything else I am missing? Not sure if it is worth reinstalling-Office 2003 is pretty good.
