Installing enterprise 2007 on vista sp 1

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry




I installed enterprise 2007 on a new dell computer with no previous office
installation on it. All went well but every time I open any of the office
products I get the dreaded" please wait while microsoft configures...". My
user account is an administrator. I even tried uninstalling and installing
under another admin account.

Is there a registry setting I can change to tell the office products that
first use has already occurred so it will stop the loop? It evens starts the
"wait while microsoft configures..." when I click on REPLY in Outlook.

I tried a registry cleaner, uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail.

One curiosity, I looked in the registry and under OFFICE it had a key for
office 12 which is the 2007 I installed but also had a key for Office 8? Is
that how Microsoft Works shows up in the registry or is that an Office 97
product? This is a brand new computer just out of the box and 2007
enterprise was the first piece of software I installed on it.
