I ignored this because they mentioned Office 2003 or XP. Is this help also
for Vista and Office 2007? I have tried option 4 to no avail. Which do you
suggest?

If you look at the Applies to at the bottom of the article, it does apply to
Office 2007. It is a permission issue according to the article. I'd ask about
the registry keys in a Vista newsgroup to get some guidance.
