Word keeps loading on Configuration of Office 7 before starting u

[SunnyS4U]

Everytime I open "Word" a message comes up: Configuration Process....
Configuring Microsoft Home and Student Edition 2007.
It is annoying and time consuming. Does anyone know why this is happening
and how to fix it. Dell Had me reformat my computer and I had to reinstall
Office. I had 3 installs on the purchase. I had to use my third one to put
it back in my computer. Please help me.
Thanks.

You are doing an upgrade from Office 03?
Install Office 07 to a diff folder in Program file.
thats what was happening to me.
Good Luck

If you are running Word 2003 and Word 2007 on the same machine, see the
"Hacking the Registry" section in the article at

I have installed the Enterprise version of Office 2007 on new computers. No
other Office applications reside on the drive. All of the Microsoft
applications configure everytime they are launched. I have address the
regedit with the Office 2003 conflict. I have repaired and uninstalled and
reinstalled the software. Nothing corrects this problem. Any suggestions?

Log on as an Administrator and see if that enables the installation to
complete correctly.

Stefan Blom, same problems for me - using Office 2007 on a PC w Windows 7.
Word is useless now. None of your suggestions help. I am administrator on my
PC.

Help would be immensely appreciated

You must be logged in as Administrator, not as a user with an Admin level
account.

Are you running 2003 and 2007 together? Why is Word useless because we
presume from your short posting that it works?
