Office Keeps Re-Installing When I Try To Open Word, Excel...etc.

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.

Hey man,

I've tried a bunch of stuff but I've found that it's not the software itself, well it is but it's when it goes through the start up menu when that annoying window comes up.

Sooo what I've done is go to the root file in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12 and then scroll down to Microsoft Excel/Word or whatever Office programme you want to use and open it from there and its fine. I also right clicked on it and chose pin to start menu so I can open it up from there without the anger-provoking "windows is configuring......" window pops up and makes you wait what feels like an eternity to enter into the programme.

So it's not exactly solving the problem, it's side-stepping it. But I'm happy.

Hope this helps
