Reinstalling 10.5.4 when 10.5.5 is already installed

I have a Powermac G5, running Leopard 10.5.5. It's a non-intel computer. I have been experiencing a lot of problems with it for a while, including Time Machine not working, not being able to install updates (or any software installations, for that matter), not being able to empty the trash, etc. Basically, it's time to reinstall the OS. I backed everything up, and I even found a Leopard (not Snow, since I don't have an Intel processor) disc, and...it WON'T LET ME INSTALL! I think that the reason is that the disc is for 10.5.4, and I have since installed the update to 10.5.5. Whaaat can I do?

What error is it giving you when you try to install?
