See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297834. If this is Office 2007, there
are indications that failing to uninstall the beta (or perhaps a trial
version) before installing may cause the problem. But you'd do better to
post this in microsoft.public.word.setup.networking and/or
microsoft.public.office.setup, to which I am cross-posting this.

Lester, you seem to be under the mistaken impression that you're
addressing Microsoft employees in the newsgroups. That is not the
case. The MVPs are not employees (http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/)
and have no ability to fix or change any products.

Have you tried the suggestions in the KnowledgeBase article that
Suzanne mentioned, and the links under "More Information" there? If
that hasn't helped, click the link in the upper right corner of the
article, labeled Get Help Now.

I'm not sure who you think you're addressing here. You are not talking to
Microsoft (no one from Microsoft frequents these forums; they're purely for
peer support), and there's nothing anyone here can do to "fix" or
"uninstall" this problem.
