Office Home and student 2007 new install that keeps installing....

[Roy B]

Hello All,

I have seen this posted before but I think this is a uniqe situation. My
computer crashed a few days ago and I had to reinstall Office Home and
student 2007 from the CD's I had purchased. This went well except for the
following: I can open "power point" and "one note" no probelm. When I try to
open "Excell" or "Word" it jumps into setup and than configure as if it is
trying to reinstall the programs. I can cancel this and the programs are
available for me to use or I can let it do its thing and then use the
program. I have all ready tried going inot excell resources, run microsoft
office diagnostics and that did not help. The application did not find
anything wrong. I also tried to activate microsoft office, just to see what
it would say, and it said the program was all ready activated.

Any insight on this would be appreaceated.

I performed a Google search and this worked for me.

Performed One and Two – Seems to have fixed the intermittent “Configurationâ€
on startup of the App(s) - 8/3/09
Each # was an option I found by Googling on the Internet.

(1) One - Checked - all was OK as local user had Full Permissions. So
moved onto # 2
Hello there, from the research I have done, I believe your issue is related
to permissions in accessing the registry keys. Follow these steps to correct
your permissions in the registry.
1. Log on to the computer by using an Administrator user account.
2. Click Start > Run > type regedit, click OK.
3. Locate and then right-click the following registry subkey.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0
4. Click Permissions.
5. Click Users (Computer_name\Users), and then click to select the Allow
check box for the Full Control permission.
6. Click OK, and then quit Registry Editor.
7. Start an Office program. Wait for the configurating finished. Restart the
application. What is the result?

(2) Effectively did One Line for each Applications (Same as Number 3)
The fix to the problem is very simple as it turns out - simply run the
following commands (by pressing the Windows Key+R or typing it into the
Start/Run command box. Use the line with Office\11.0 if you have Office 2003
installed and Office\12.0 if you have Office 2007 installed. You can use both
if you have both installed :
reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Options /v NoReReg /t
REG_DWORD /d 1
reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Excel\Options /v NoReReg /t
REG_DWORD /d 1
reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\PowerPoint\Options /v NoReReg /t
REG_DWORD /d 1
reg add HKCU\Software ttfn David \Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Options /v
NoReReg /t REG_DWORD /d 1
reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Access\Options /v NoReReg /t
REG_DWORD /d 1
That is it. Office 2007 might want to have one more spin round the block
with it's configuration dialog box, but that should be it.
