Google around for uninstalling the office 2007 beta. You're going to have to dig into the registry and remove a bunch of stuff in order to get the retail version of 2007 working. It's a pain, as I had to do it on my desktop.

i solved the problem! it was the compatibility pack that office 2003 uses to open office 2007 files. i removed it in add/remove programs and its running well now. thanks for all your help
