Microsoft word problem helppppp?

Question

Running MSOffice2007 on WinVista SP1 with latest updates. Just installed a fresh copy and EVERY time I open a word document, it says "configuring microsoft office," and shows me a progress bar that takes 5 min to creep to the end. Wouldn't it make sense if this happened only once? Why does it keep trying to reconfigure?

Answer 1

Do you have an older version of Office installed alongside Office 2007?  If yes, then you could modify the Windows registry as described in http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=92809... "Information about using 2007 Office suites and programs on a computer that is running another version of Office".
