Re: cannot open office 2007

In Norton I found "turn off scanning for Microsoft Office Documents" is this
the one you were referring to?

Wouldn't just turning off Norton achieve the same thing?

Could there still be something in the registry that is screwing something
up? If so, is there a registry cleaner for Microsoft Office? Or a list of
keys left behind after uninstall that need to be removed?

I did some reading on the net and found there were forums removing add-in's
cleared some issues, is there anything to this?

I have Norton Internet Security.

No I do not have the 2007 compatibility pack.

I really can't think of anything that I have done just prior to it not
working.

In Norton Options disable the "Office Plug-in" option. This is known to
cause conflicts with Office documents. You'll still be protected by the
AutoProtect Layer. The only thing the Office Plut-in does that the
AutoProtect layer doesn't is scan password protected documents prior to
opening.
