You probably should have removed the trial version first, but that
doesn't seem to have affected your ability to use the retail copy. When you
performed the installation of the retail product, were you prompted to
install Office for all users, or just the account in use? If so, which
option did you choose?
I'd suggest removing Office and reinstalling it. If that doesn't solve
the problem, you should probably seek help in a newsgroup dedicated to
Office; you'd be more likely to find help there.
