    ask whoever you got your computer from to give you the correct product key then go to add / remove programs and remove it and re install using correct product key.. if it was on your PC before you got it, do you mean a brand new PC? because normally with O 2007 the install wont complete without the correct key being entered

    If you have a product key, then you can try the steps described here or here. Make sure you back up your registry before you begin.

    If you don't have the installation media for Office 2007, downloading a trial will also work if you install it with your product key. Now Microsoft have released Office 2010, trials of 2007 are harder to find, but I'm sure there's one out there.

    Was it a trial version was on the notebook?

    If the worst comes to the worst, you can get Open Office for free.
