RE: Office 2007 continually configures itself

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hi Peter,

It is mostly caused that the current user account doesn't have permission on the Office registry key. Follow the steps below to see if it works.

#1
========
1. Login as a local administrator account on the computer.
2. Start the Microsoft office 2007 applications (word 2007, excel 2007, powerpoint 2007).
3. If the configuration pops up, wait it to be finished.
4. Logoff and logon your user account. Test the issue. What is the result?

If it doesn't work, go to next step.

#2
=======
1. Log on to the computer by using an Administrator user account.
2. Click Start > Run > type regedit, click OK.
3. Locate and then right-click the following registry subkey.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0
4. Click Permissions.
5. Click Users (Computer_name\Users), and then click to select the Allow check box for the Full Control permission.
6. Click OK, and then quit Registry Editor.
7. Start an Office program. Wait for the configurating finished. Restart the application. What is the result?

If anything is unclear or if you have any other concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Regards,

For some reason Office 2007 continually configures itself.

It is installed, but every time I run one of the installed programs, it
configures again and again. I have tried to re-install it, repair it,
diagnose the issue, but I can't seem to fix it. This is an install CD
from my Technet subscription, but this happens when I use my retail CD
of Office 2003 as well.

Operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium SP1.

Any ideas?
