Office 2007 no UI after fresh install

[Ronald]

Correct, both RTM. Vista x86 Ultimate & Office 2007 Pro.
Brand new installation (on clean, formated system, AMD 64 FX55, 2gb Ram,
300gb Sata). Did do office diagnostic and no problems found. Uninstalled once
and reinstalled Office 2007 once to see if something perhaps had gone wrong
during installation.

Sources are from Technet and thus presumable clean.

I've seriously have NO idea what to do here.

--R

This is under Vista!?? Vista and Office are both RTM?
Have you tried running a repair? (Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs,
Change Office 2007 Pro, Repair)
How about Office Diagnostics? (Start, All Programs, Microsoft Office,
Office Tools)
Where did you get Office & Vista from? And which Office SKU did you get?

No ideas for you, but wouldn't it be nice to find that those old default
toolbars are hidden somewhere in the Office 2007 installation?


Brand new Vista (final) install and brand new Office 2007 install.

After install outlook looks like this:
http://l2t-dev.no-ip.info/outlook2007.jpg and the other apps have no skin
either. Any ideas?

Neither do I. Send me an email with a summary of the issue so that I
don't forget about this issue over Thanksgiving. I'll try to find out
something after Thanksgiving (no one at Microsoft is basically there
this week...). You can get my email from my website.

Hi Ronald,

In the Windows control panel check the accessibility options to see if you have turned on the Display settings for High contrast.

===========
Correct, both RTM. Vista x86 Ultimate & Office 2007 Pro.
Brand new installation (on clean, formated system, AMD 64 FX55, 2gb Ram,
300gb Sata). Did do office diagnostic and no problems found. Uninstalled once
and reinstalled Office 2007 once to see if something perhaps had gone wrong
during installation.

Sources are from Technet and thus presumable clean.

I've seriously have NO idea what to do here.

Why are you running Vista Basic?
From the description of your system, I would have assumed that it can
handle Aero Glass easily? Is this in a VM?
What does the Vista Experience Index say about your system and graphics
card?

Hi Bob:

I've added a picture of my whole desktop (dual screen) showing the sidebar,
Aero, Powerpoint2007, Excel 2007, MM Dreamweaver and Appearance Settings
together. http://l2t-dev.no-ip.info/vista-office2007.jpg

High-contrast is turned off, and i am 100% positive its not been turned on
since i installed vista/office.

thx for your help
