"Please wait while Windows Configures Microsoft Office 2007" Message
This is the error I am getting while trying to access any office application. I tried installing Office Enterprises 2007 on a new HP laptop that came without any TRAIL office version (upon my request). Hence there was no problem in the installation. But thereafter:
1. When I try to open any word document, or excel or PowerPoint file by double clicking them, it opens a box with message saying “Please wait while Windows Configures Microsoft Office 2007”
2. When I open these office programs by going to Start > Programs > Microsoft Office. Still it gives me the save window with the above message.
3. But when I try to open these apps from their original installed location (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12) by clicking the .exe file, they open and work fine without any problem.
Any solution to fix this error please ?

This doesn't work for me : I have an Office 12 folder, not Office 14. I had this with the Enterprise version of Office 2007 and so I switched to Home version, with same problem.
It started happening now and again, but now it is with every single Word file I try to edit, including new files I try to create. I have tried everything and Microsoft does nothing but ask me to pay - I have paid enough, and this is a MS problem, not mine, and I have visited dozens of forums dealing with this problem and nobody has come up with a definitive solution.
I am now switching to Open Office, because that is OK, but why should I have to when I have paid for two versions of Office already? It is a serious problem that a large number of people appear to be experiencing, yet nobody takes it seriously.
