I tried re installing the technical refresh and it gave me this error:

"The detection failed, this can be due to a corrupted installation
database."

Then I tried installing the trial version Patrick suggested and then I
got this error:

"Setup is unable to proceed due to the following error(s):
The 2007 Microsoft Office system does not support upgrading from a
prerelease version of the 2007 Microsoft Office system. You must first
uninstall any prerelease versions of the 2007 Microsoft Office system
products and associated technologies.
Correct the issue(s) listed above and re-run setup."

I have to figure out a way to uninstall the MS Office Beta before I can
do anything else...

Do you have any suggestions?
