I am running Offfice 2007 on a Vista computer. When I press the Vista 'Start' icon and see a list of recently used application, I can't launch an Office 2007 from the list, nothing happens when I click the icon.

If I list all programs and click on an Office 2007 application icon from this complete list, then the applications launch properly.

What is happening? How can I fix this?

It's working just like it's supposed to. You can't "launch" Office 2007.
Office 2007 is a suite of separate programs. An easy way to launch programs is to simply type the name in the search bar and hit return.

Example: type Excel in the search bar and Excel pops up at the top of the list andis highlighted. Simply hit return and excel will open.
