Every time I try to open a document or database my Office 2007 has to configure just like the first time it's used. This happened a while ago on only one of the two accounts on my XPS 410. I re- installed Office pro 2007 (retail box) and it stopped doing it, but now it has started doing it again every time I try to open any documents, spreadsheets or Access databases on both accounts.
I am running it as Administrator and yes, I tried Winword.exe (also winword /s) and it still configures. What an idiot I was I had a choice between Office 2003 and 2007 and I chose 2007.
It's been installed 3 times now, the original installation, once after the HD died and once after the MB died. Funny thing is the original installation worked perfectly (not Outlook of course).
I like it a lot after getting used to the ribbon, I find it easier to use. But waiting 3-4 minutes to open a document stinks. All the office programs do it too. Access, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, even Outlook.
Well then that explains the "reconfiguring". The best procedure then is to uninstall Office 2007 and then uninstall whatever other version (2003?) is on the machine. Then reinstall Office 2007. Good Luck!
