Re: Word 2007 crash after Win Vista update oct. 2008



I too allow the automatic updates at 3 am, and sometimes find the
machine wanting my password because it restarted itself as part of the
process. (So I no longer leave files open, albeit saved, overnight.)
The only ill effect I find is that _sometimes_ the first time I open
Word2007, it tells me it's "configuring" Office2007, and this takes
quite a while. When I open Word2003, sometimes it tells me it's
"installing" it, which I imagine is something similar but doesn't take
nearly as long (maybe because I only reinstalled Word and PowerPoint,
not the whole suite, which I never use anyway).

Which is to say, maybe there's something else in there that's causing
the problem.

Greetings,

In the night of October 29th to 30th, my Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit
system was updated automatically. Since then, I can no longer open Word 2007
(I have Office 2007 Ultimate). I did a Word 2007 Diagnostic test, which
revealed no problem. I then tried to "repair" Office 2007 with the tools in
the installation files, and that "repair" crashed in mid course. I use Word
all the time, this is a very serious problem.

I did a system restore, which enabled me to use Word again. But last night,
my computer was again updated automatically, with the same result.

Any help with be much appreciated! thank you.
