MS Office Keeps Reconfiguring and Reconfiguring over and over again in my another user account in the domain?

Question

I recently took over as a temporary adminstrator for several computers on a domain, and one of the problems handed down to me has me stumped. The previoius administrator installed Office 2007 on several computers, and with two of those computers something went wrong because everytime my users try to open any of the Office applications (Outlook, Word, Excel, etc.) a pop-up window comes up saying "Please wait while WIndows configures Microsoft Office Professional 2003 edition". This box will repeatedly pop up several times before it finally goes away. It also pops up several times on initial login. This only happens on my user accounts, when I open any Office applications under my admin account it comes up fine. I've tried several things to no avail including a complete uninstall and reinstall, and I've searched online for the answer, most people only had this issue pertaining to one specific part of Office (i.e, just Access), but it's happening for all the applications for me.

Answer 1

I have seen this when office is installed over a network, and the msocache files are moved or deleted afterwards. Do an uninstall, run ccleaner to remove all the remaining registry keys, and try a reinstall (do it locally).  If that does not clear it, delete and recreate the user accounts in question.

Answer 2

This problem has existed for years now for many users of Office.  Mine is always trying to install Front Page, (which runs fine) >

so I deleted Front Page, and then it did it with another Office Applicaiton.

The "bug" is in the Windows Installer > and I can't delete because it can't find a certain file. ha ha ha

So, just like many others, we're stuck with the problem "Installer".

I have not heard of any other user that has come up with a fix.

So, for now, I live with the nuisance

Sorry,
