Office Test Drive - Conflicts

Comment:
I have Microsoft Office Test Drive installed on my mac and have been using it for quite some time. Recently I purchased a full version and so I removed the Test Drive version and install the purchased version. Both are 2004 version. However, when I go to open Entourage, I cannot because there's some kind of version conflict. I then uninstall Office and reinstalled the Test Drive version and now I can open Entourage and retrieve all my email messages.
The problem is I can continue to use the Test Drive version as it will expire and I can print anything from it. What should I do? Anyone else with similar problems?
