Please wait while windows configures microsoft office.....

[Gandalf Beckwith]

Help!

My Dad has got Windows Office 2007 installed on his Dell desktop PC. Every time he tries to open an Office document, or opens one of the Office applications from the desktop, the following prompt appears on-screen....

"Please wait while windows configures microsoft office....."

We can't find a way of getting rid of this, and it's getting a tad annoying (to say the least!)

Any of the PH massive got any bright ideas?

Cheers,

Dan

control panel - add remove programs - then do a repair on office

Common problem if it conflicts with a previous install of 2003. The only way I could get rid of it was a fresh install of windows.
