Everytime I try to open office 2007, it keeps re-installing the software and takes a good while before it opens.
This happens for all programs in the suite; excel, word...etc. I am using Vista, can anyone please help?
Thanks.

Keeping the history of the computer in mind, I would recommend you to completely remove office 2007 manually and reinstall it.
Ensure that you have the Installation Disk for Office 2007 and Product Key for the same.
Please follow the article below to do the same.

Its a Acer Aspire 5520-5147 4Gb. Office has worked on here before. Initially installed as Windows Vista home, Office 2003. Tried to upgrade it to Vista Ultimate and Office 2007. Person doing that upgrade gave up on wireless and ethernet drivers. Reloaded image from before upgrade (Vista hame/Office 2003) and performed Office 2007 inplace upgrade. Has not worked since. Exactly 1 year ago.

I tried the registry entries mentioned here. I will go back and say that I know that previous version office remnants do exist on this machine. In fact when I was working on the NoReReg registry entry, I saw folders for 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0. I have run office 2007 remove, 2003 remove and outlook 2000, then cleanups, etc..... numerous times and reinstalled/repaired.
I've spent way too much time on this issue and wasted production time.
