Default Office 2007 trial expired immediately due to prior Office 2003

I attempted to install a trial version of Office 2007 Pro, and the
activation
wizard said "Your trial period expired on December 31, 2002". This PC is
Windows XP machine, new in about year 2005, where the machine already had
an
expired trial version of Office 2003 installed. I was using the expired
Office 2003 trial as a file viewer and never activated the 60-day trial
period for it. When installing the Office 2007 Pro trial, I selected the
option to remove the older version of Office, which worked successfully.
Now
when I start any Office app, the activation wizard says that my trial is
expired. How do I activate a 60-day trial for Office 2007 in this
situation?
I already tried to clean the 2003 install using MicrosoftFixit50302.



Office 2003 is vastly superior to Office '07, why would you want to change?
