Messed up office install. Old version not working. Please help.

About a month ago I installed MS Office 2007 trial on my system. Now I
wanted to take it off and it would not come off. So I ran system restore and
that made it even worse. Most of the mso cache files are gone, and none of
my MS office 2003 files work. And stupid windows installer keeps coming up
every time I try to open an application. No matter what it is it keeps
coming up. I keep trying system restore but that doesn't help. I don't have
the disk to my copy of office because the computer isn't mine. I go to an
online school at home and they have the disk. I don't even have the license
key. I think I could repair my copy if I had the mso cache fill to fix it.
I don't know what to do I have tried everything and the school is going to
bill me if I don't get it fixed. Please help....

Without the Office 2003 CD, you are pretty much up the proverbial creek.

You are going to need an MS Office 2003 cd, either yours or one that is the
same version
You can get your licence key via MagicJelly Bean, or Belarc Advisor, both
free downloads
