I have a similar problem; however mine relates to having to uninstall Office
XP Standard for Teachers and Students -without CD- in favor of upgrading to
the Office Professional 07. It is only allowing me to use 07 in reduced mode,
and it is defaulting to the XP.
I have no idea where the discs are for XP; I have moved 4 times since then.
It will NOT allow me to uninstall without the disks.
I have, however, been able to un-install and re-install the 07, just to be
sure that it recognized the new version and I did opt to have it over-ride
previous versions, however that was ineffective.
I went into my program files and deleted all of my Office 10 program files
in desperation. Now when I open any of my documents, they open in microsoft
works or wordpad or something....not even the old XP Word. I can't use any
excel.
I need to be able to entirely uninstall the old XP and be able to use the
07!! please help!!
