Default 'please wait while windows configures...' message on vista machine

For me, this problem only occurs for microsoft users with a "limited" access
user account. The administrator account is fine. Does this mean all 5 users
on my computer have to have administrative privileges to use Microsoft
Office? Not an acceptable solution in my opinion. Has anyone else
experienced this?

Every time I launch Word, PowerPoint, Publisher, Excel, or Access (The whole
office 2007 suite except for Outlook) I get the message, "please wait while
windows configures microsoft office enterprise 2007" In Outlook I get the
same message anytime I send or receive an email. I find tons of posts about
this problem and no solutions. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling,
using the 'install clean up' tool, repairing, office diagnostics... nothing
fixes this. Now the file associations aren't even working. A .doc file
isn't even associated with Word anymore.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
