Office 97/2000 Install/Remove Problems

K

I had installed Office 97 Pro on a new Windows XP system.
I needed quick access to ACCESS 2000 and borrowed and
installed an upgrade version. I purchased a real version
of Office 200 Pro. I removed the O2000 using Control
Panel's Add/Remove Programs option, but I did not delete
any disk files. When I went to install my copy of O2000
Pro, a flaw in the plastic of the CD prevented the
installation from continuing. I went to reinstall O97 and
the two service packs. When I tried to call up Excel, I
got a "no license" error. Same thing with Access. I
removed O97 through Control Panel and the deleted the
files. Reinstalling O97 seemed to go OK (I didn't bother
with the service packs) and Word and Excel work, but I
still get the same "no license" error in Access.

What do I need to do to get things reinstalled correctly?
I expect to get new O2000 disks shortly. Should I expect
similar problems? If so, how do I get things reset short
of reinstalling Windows?
