Office 2007 no UI after fresh install

[Ronald]

What makes you think i'm running Vista Basic? I've included a screenshot of
my system information. http://l2t-dev.no-ip.info/sysinfo.jpg showing Edition
(ultimate), Rating (4.3), etc.

thanks

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

Because it looks like Vista Basic (the window frames are not transparent
e.g.)? And because in this screenshot
http://l2t-dev.no-ip.info/vista-office2007.jpg
You have Vista Basic selected?
Also, this might be a 256 color mode. I think your problem is with your
display settings and possibly your graphics card driver.

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.

FIXED!!! Its the Nvidia Display driver that caused these issues. How? I
don't know. I manually uninstalled the Nvidia (beta d'uh) driver and
reinstalled the MS Driver and it worked. (for the record i installed the
Nvidia 96.85 driver).

Thanks for all your help. Don't think you need a screenshot for this one

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.

FIXED!!! Its the Nvidia Display driver that caused these issues. How? I
don't know. I manually uninstalled the Nvidia (beta d'uh) driver and
reinstalled the MS Driver and it worked. (for the record i installed the
Nvidia 96.85 driver).

Thanks for all your help. Don't think you need a screenshot for this one

--Ronald

BTW, that screenshot shows UNRATED. You should click on that Windows
Experience Index: Unrated, and let Windows rate your system again.

What makes you think i'm running Vista Basic? I've included a screenshot of
my system information. http://l2t-dev.no-ip.info/sysinfo.jpg showing Edition
(ultimate), Rating (4.3), etc.

thanks

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

Hi Ronald,

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