Microsoft office home and Student 2007 installs whenever an attachment is open

I am running Vista Home Premium SP2 on a new Dell computer.  I have installed Office 2007 Home and Student after I got the computer without obvious problem, but now whenever I try to open an attachment or use Windows Explorer to open a document file, I get a window that says 'Please wait while windows configures Microsoft home and student 2007' and there is a long delay until the file opens. If I open the application first and then use Office to open a saved file it works OK.

I've installed, uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2007 Home and Student several times unsuccessfully to correct the problem. I looked at the messages before recommending the Windows Installer CleanUp utility, but the link says not to use the Office 2007 product service program. http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/290301 should I run this anyway?

As Dave_P_B, Dell Dock on my computer had no problem opening quickly applications. I figured well Dell Dock, so as part of my effort to fix this, I uninstalled Office 2007 home and student, and Dell Dock and IE8 and various updates of Windows. I then reinstalled Office 2007. I always had the same problem, so I put everything back as it was. My computer is up-to-date with all the updates of Windows and reinstall fresh of Dell Dock. Everything works well except for this problem.

The Office 2007 software works very well on my wife's cell phone. (not a Dell)

  • Buy Microsoft Office home and Student 2007

    I bought the Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 for my laptop to buy full license. I received the confirmation email. The money has been debited to my credit card. I was able to download the program on the internet from Microsoft. Everything works very well. On the confirmation (as dated 26 May 2008) e-mail, it says "PHYSICAL PRODUCTS you will receive a separate e-mail notification when your products have shipped. However:

    -In the 3rd quarter of 2008 my computer crashed and had to re - install everything new. When I tried to enter my product key (from my confirmation email) it wouldn't work. If since the 3rd quarter 2008 I do not have Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007.
    -I did not receive the physical product and does not separate email notification.

    Can someone please.

    Where you downloaded the version of student Office was that of Microsoft, or a less reliable source?

    Have you tried to temporarily disable the software Anti Virus and other security type of execution, to see if, perhaps, they were causing the problem not being able to get the key for product is TICKING?  You can also try to remove all trial versions and any other failure installs automatically on your machine.  Clean your Temp files, launch Disk Cleanup too and once more to get your version of Office to accept your product key.  This program might be useful.

  • Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 Setup has stopped working...

    I have a laptop Dell Inspiron E1505 with Windows Vista 32 bit Home Premium operating system on it.  I have all the updates/service Pack installed on it and I'm updating.  I use Microsoft Security Essentials for my anti-virus program, windows firewall for my firewall and windows defender as my software anti spy.  A few days ago I reinstalled Vista to do a clean install in order to restore my computer to its factory settings or the State.  I did this cause I wasn't able to get office 2007 installed or working properly, there are several problems I encountered.  So I reinstalled Vista and my computer works great now so I've updated everything that I could and then I tried to install Office 2007 on it with my installation CD and it comes up with the validation code and I type in and it works and it starts installing Office but at the beginning of the installation, it closes and a little window appears 'Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 setup has stopped working' and It must be closed.  so I am not able to do anything with it at all.  is there something I can do?  would it be a bad CD? I don't understand.  I was able to get a new cd and just use my old product code to validate?  Help, please!

    I tried a few random things like get rid of AVG Free and adding to the security suite from microsoft, and by installing a high date, that I had to use the seven update analysis tool.  After I rebooted then am Office to install perfectly and all updates worked too.

  • Product key for microsoft office home and Student 2007 is the wrong type of key. Cannot validate the license.

    I bought a pc laptop hp Pavilion dv2000 model in September 2007, of the circuit city which is no longer in business here. I used the microsoft office home and student software that was previously installed a dozen times. Whenever I go to use it it asks me to enter a product key of 25 characters for the license validation. I tried to enter, it accepts all characters except the last. I don't think I should pay for the support, I bought a software that was supplied with the pc. HP is no help because my one year warranty has expired. Microsoft wants to sell me a support package. The message said after 25 times to log on to the program without posting, I lose complete access. Does anyone have a solution to this problem I have? I have windows vista Home premium.

    Microsoft Office does not come with a free version of Office installed; He never has.

    What you have / have had a free trial of Office on your laptop.

    The figure of 25 product key on the bottom of your laptop is Vista product key, not the trial Office of one.

    You can buy Office, to use it. Mick Murphy

  • Need to reinstall Office home and Student 2007

    I got the suite 3 User License Microsoft Office home and Student 2007 installed on three PCs running Windows Vista. Then I bought three copies of Windows 7 and:

    -Do an upgrade installation of Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit on a system already with Vista Home Basic 32 bit (Intel Core 2 Duo)
    -Do a new installation of Windows 7 Home Basic 32 bit on a system already with Vista Home Basic 32 bit (Intel Dual Core)
    -Do a new installation of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on a system already with Vista Home Premium 32-bit (Intel Core 2 Quad)
     
    Since installing the office suite has been lost on the two latter systems, I need to know if I can reinstall it again using the same product key. Thanks in advance.

    Installation from cd and if necessary use phone activation (Yes to use your key)
