I've just replaced my old iBook with a MacBook 1.83 and used the
Migration assistant to copy over my settings etc from the old
computer.

I ran into problems with both the Test Drive and transfered copies of
Office 2004 both being there so have deleted both.

Now when I try to install I can't get the assistant to start at all.
When I drag the folder onto my HD, I see the apps, but they won't
start.

If I had any hair, I'd be tearing it out now - I don't have a clue
what to next.

Any advice would be very welcome.

You've been bitten by the Test Drive removal nightmare. You can try running
"Remove Office" to remove all Office files, but some users have had to
resort to manually removing the files.

After you run "Remove Office" found in Additional Tools folder in Office,
install from your CD then update!
