Nothing sees to be working. I am not at all technical and I am getting frustrated now. I just want to get rid of the error.

I had a previous version of Office 10 on my pc when I worked at a company which I have now left.  I have tried to uninstall that version through the control panel.  It appears as though it has been uninstalled. When I try to install a new version, although I can get into all the applications, I get a big error message with the code mentioned.  I want to be able to completely wip all traces of my previous version of Office 10 and install my new version.  I have even tried uninstalling, installing Office 2007 (no error) and then re-installing Office 2010 (error).  I am using Windows 7.  I am getting really frustated as I have tried everything!!  Thanks.
