2003 trial convert after uninstalling the trial version

I have a laptop running on Windows XP Home Edition, 5.1.2600 SP2, Build 2600
(if that matters), and encountered problems with office software after
installing recent windows updates, so I unistalled all the 2003 office trial
software.

Since I unistalled the preinstalled trial 2003 office, how do I convert to
the full blown edition if it tells me I need to convert through the trial
software which I don't have any cd's to reinstall??

Try downloading the trial version from Microsoft and see if that will let
you convert.
