Office Enterprise 2007 runs setup every time I open a product - MS Office

[wiggy_70]

Please help! I have Offce Enterprise installed and everytime I open an application. I have read so many threads but none of them seem to answer the question. Please help me make it stop!

The answer is well-known: The user account into which Office 2007 is
installed lacks sufficient file access permissions.

Unlike earlier versions of Office, the 2007 Office System starts from
shortcuts that detect whether the Office program in question is fully and
correctly installed (based on your selections during the original
installation.) If Office can't determine whether it's been fully and
completely installed, it installs itself again.

If the user account into which Office is installed lacks permission to
access the files that Office needs to query, Office can't tell if its been
fully and completely installed.

Since file access permission is black magic to most users, the first and
easiest way to solve the problem is to reset all file access permissions to
their default values. This is most easily done with Microsoft's SubInACL
utility. Instructions are on the web, where they are explained in detail.

Most of the time, the above procedure works...but not always, depending on
your individual situation. That's why it helps to post the details of the
error from Event Viewer, which often helps to pinpoint the exact problem.

Since Event Viewer often makes about as much sense to the average user as
file permissions, the one solution that always works is to do a clean
install of Windows and then, before doing anything else, to install Office.

If you're wondering why Office checks itself, it's because users -
particularly in the workplace - often fiddle with their software and mess it
up. Office 2007 puts all the pieces back together.

I have seen this happen when an old version (97) has 2007 installed over it
and then the user clicks the old version icon. When 2007 is clicked again,
it wanted to reinstall it.

So, remove all old apps then install 2007 or do not click old apps.

My 2 cents.

Please help!!! I still cannot use this - someone out there must be able to help - I really need to be able to use Word without it taking 3 minutes to open a document after it installs the programme again.

Is there no way I can post a copy of my registry or something and someone can maybe help me that way..?????????? any advice much appreciated.
