    Default why do Microsoft Office 2007 programs configure every time i try to start...

    ...them in Windows Vista? Every time I click Microsoft Word, Expression, Publisher, etc, Windows installer starts and says something like "please wait while microsoft office configures..."

    So what I am looking for is a solution that doesn't require downgrading the operating system or MS Office or deleting those.

    Do you know of any setting that can be changed, registry keys that can be deleted or added that can take care of this problem so when i click those programs they don't take several minutes to load because trying to configure or install it when already configured or installed? and perhaps a fix that will keep windows installer in Windows Vista from doing this with other programs already installed?

    only serious answerers.

    Does it ever finish Configuring Office? Usually the first time that you run a program it has to get everything set up for you. You might even have to enter some values (name, address) for word. You really don't have to, but You have go through the wizard. if you just cancel out of it, then it well start up again next time.
    Have you set everything up. Does anything ever even come up!
    Oh and Vista is the best! I love it!

    Mostly because programs that are sold in a certain year (for instance Microsoft 2007) are created in the previous year. Microsoft of any year works best with Windows XP. When you run your Microsoft programs, it has to try to configure Vista, not your word processor so that it is usable. If Microsoft knew about this problem, they would probably write a tech support line about it. That would be your first bet. Your second bet would be to buy Windows XP and put it on your hard drive. I'd tell you more, but some people think that the information I have is cheating Microsoft out of more money. That's why I provide my email address.

    Vista is not really a reliable OS.. i agree with your move to downgrade to XP..

    yeah ! i agree too but I guess you should upgrade to Windows 7 etc instead of downgrading it...
