Office Professional Plus 2007: Delay in Word start-up

Description: I purchased Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 for Windows,
Part Number 79P-01496 on 11/16/07. I have two questions:
Every time a start Microsoft Word 2007 in the Microsoft Office Professional
Plus 2007 Suite, I get a message that says: Please wait while set-up prepares
the necessary files. Then comes a screen with a progress bar that says:
Configuration Process. Configuring Microsoft Office Professional 2007. This
configuration takes an average of 3 to 3 and a half minutes. Excel,
Publisher, Power Point, Outlook and the other components of the suite start
instantly. Why this long delay with word start-up?

Do you have more than one version of Word installed on the same
computer (e.g., Word 2003 and Word 2007)? If yes, then you can
modify the Windows registry as described in
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=928091 "Information about
using 2007 Office suites and programs on a computer that is
running another version of Office" to stop the configuring process.
