Group Policy removed Office

I have a PC that was a member of a domain and whilst a domain member had
Office installed by Group Policy with the option to remove the software when
out of scope of the group policy. When the PC was removed from the domain
Office was removed from the PC as it should have been, but I have since
re-installed the same version of office to that PC manually and when it is
rebooted Office is removed again so we now cannot install office on that PC
at all.

The PC is Windows XP SP2 and was on a server 2003 AD and the office version
is 2003.

Does anyone know how I can now install office on that PC?

Thanks for your help.

Is this computer removed completely from the domain and back in workgroup
mode? what does your event viewer show?
