Office 2007 Trial not responding

[Gordon]

I've downloaded Office 2007 trial, installed it and activated.
All applications open OK, but when I try and DO something, like File-open in
excel for example, it immediately goes into "not responding" mode,
everything locks up and I more often than not have to power off without
closing the unresponsive and locked apps properly. Task manager is no help
as I click "End task" and nothing happens.
I am getting quite frustrated about this.

Machine specs:
fresh install of XP SP2 (day before yesterday) and fully patched.
2.666 GHz Celeron processor
1 GB RAM
C drive 17 GB with 8GB free (after Office install)
D drive 20 GB (data storage)

very odd, it suddenly seems to have "cured" itself, and now SEEMS to be
working OK...
