Can't completely remove, fix or reinstall Office 2007

[Jim-on-the-EDGE]

I had a problem with my Office 2007 on my work computer. I first tried to
remove the software to reinstall and couldn't. I next used Windows Installer
Clean Up to remove the software, it seemed to work but, add/remove software
still reports it as being installed. I then tried to remove, fix and
reinstall the software from my original CD, with no luck. I guess I am down
to the point where I will need to remove all office entries from my REG CODE.
Does anybody have the REG CODE entries for Office or a way of fixing this?
System: Dell Precision 690 OS: Vista Business 64-bit Service Pack 2 Help!!!!

Have you tried using CCleaner? This product removes all stubborn
programs that can't be uninstalled completely using the
conventional Add/Remove routines from Control Panel.

I suggest download the slim-down version from the link given below
and from tools icon, run it and see if it can uninstall Office
2007:

<http/www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/slim>

You can then run the functions like removing temporary files and
orphaned registry entries that can sometimes stop you from
re-installing Office 2007.

Hope this helps.
