My apologies up front, but I'm incredibly annoyed. Over the past weeks
I've been having increasing problems with Office Pro 2007. It stopped
working on the standard user accounts. Outlook would routinely announce
that a file didn't close properly, the gears would appear in its lower
right corner and time would pass for the program to sync or whatever, Word
would stop working until I rebooted and UAC would kill Office Pro 2007
altogether. If UAC was enabled Office would tell me it wasn't installed
even in the Administrator accounts and the open program would be closed.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled Outlook a number of times. Today, after
dinner, Word stopped working. I rebooted as I do to get it working and the
activation wizard came up. I called the activation number hoping to get a
person - no such luck. I used my last activation under the license to
reactivate the program (after again uninstalling and reinstalling Office)
on the same computer it was originally installed on and, except for USP
connections, which is in the same configuration it as when Office was
originally installed. And Office still doesn't run on standard user
accounts, and UAC still keeps Office from running and Microsoft doesn't
even had an email address to send a complaint to.
I've run Norton several times - no viruses or malware. I am really PO'ed.
I want Office to work and I want my wasted activation back. Right now I'm
exploring Open Office. It seems to work as it should and my spreadsheets
and documents seem to behave properly in it. But I am so irritated!!
If anyone has any ideas, printable recommendations, or an address for
Microsoft I'd appreciate hearing them, and I appreciate the chance to vent.
Office 2000 really was a charm, wish it worked on Vista.
