Normal.dot prompt

[Rick]

We have a vb.net application that creates a word application object. Each
time I run this on my local machine I get a prompt:

"Normal.dotm was being edited by another word session, etc ...
Do you want to save the document using the orignal name anyway"

I looked at a few articles and followed the steps, but still get this prompt

Also, read PDF Complete was causing it, I uninstalled and still got the same
prompt.
This was happening on Word 2003 and I currently upgraded to 2007.

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Rick

One other location, the articles didn't mention was
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\STARTUP
(usually the above location, if not, look for the Office 12\Startup folder
on yr system)
This location can also host *.dotm or *.dot files (addins)

If there are files present, exit Word 2007 and if Word is the emaileditor to
Outlook then exit Outlook 2007 as well.
Move the files to another directory and run yr project.
In order to isolate the bugging addin or dotm file, you can reinstate each
file -that you moved away previously- to it's original location and
run yr project again.
