Hello,
I need help..seriously, and I'm not alone, as it seems there are seemingly
hundreds, if not thousands of people using Office 2007 having the same issue,
and it's probably one you've already heard.
I've searched high and low for a solution to my issue, but after nearly a
dozen hours of research and trying different methods to solve this problem,
nothing has changed.
Anyway, here's the deal. Every time I open an Office program the Windows
Installer popup window (at least that's what I believe it is) comes up and
says:
"Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007" and
kindly shows a bar of progress at the bottom. The bar cycles through a few
times and the window disappears.
After this, another, larger window pops open (the design of which seems
related to Office 2007), and gives this message at the top:
"Configuration Progess", along with "Configuring Microsoft Office Ultimate
2007", and another bar which shows progress at the bottom.
The whole process takes about 2-4 minutes every time I open up Excel or Word
for instance, which is 2-4 minutes longer than I really should have to wait
after spending all that money on a seemingly robust software package. It's
maddening.
Also, Outlook (one major reason I bought the software) does not seem to
fully allow me to set up accounts, as it "reinstalls" each time it starts.
Additionally, I'm not sure if the SP1 Updates have really been able to
successfully install or not.
Just so you know, I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate (x64) on a very capable
machine, and I did have Office 2003 installed, but uninstalled it, prior to
installing 2007.
I've tried many things that have been suggested in my internet searches:
repairing the install, uninstall-reinstall, registry cleaner software,
changing permissions in the registry (which nearly killed my machine- but
restored it back), among others..
I'm at a loss, mentally (and financially) now that I have a (nearly)
worthless set of programs. Does anybody have any more suggestions whatsoever?
I'm a little wary of going back to the registry, but maybe if I delete all
keys with "Office" in the title and reinstall Office again, that would
work?........prob not....
Any clues....anybody...
You would think the program with the least potential for compatibility or
installation problems would be Microsoft Office, made by the same company
that designed the OS...Oh well, not everything makes sense.
Please help, and thanks in advance.
