I installed a free trial of Microsoft Office 2007 the other day. When I went
to edit word docs, they were locked, so I unistalled the 2007 version.
That's all I removed and now my 2003 version of Microsoft Office Small
Business isn't working. I keep getting Microsoft Installer popups on my
screen constantly. I do not know where the original discs are for 2003 or I
would just try to reinstall it, as the installer popups are suggesting.
Help! Nothing in Office is working at all now!

You've just screwed yourself; never install a trial version if you don't
have your original disks.

Depending on the OS you are using, you might be able to use a restore point
to get your computer back to pre-install Office 2007 condition.

I HIGHLY recommend you do a complete backup of your computer before you
attempt this, and possibly have additional help from a more technical adept
friend.
