Macros don't work - not the security problem

[Unique-name]

My macro application just doesn't seem to be working! I tried enabling it in
the Trust Center settings and everything, but I don't think it's the security
problem, since the "disabling macros" warnings don't pop up or anything.

This is what I do: I open a brand new document and and try to record a
macro, but a message pops up telling me that I need to enable my macro
settings...and I do, but nothing happens. I have this problem with Microsoft
Excel as well.

I'm using Windows 7 and Microsoft Word & Excel 2007. Hope someone responds
soon.
