"Getting Started" Tab Problems in Office 2007? Click Here

Does your "Getting Started" bar not show up after you install it? This
problem only seems to happen to XP users, Vista doesn't have this issue. The
"Getting Started" tab needs two things in order to work properly under
Windows XP:

1.) .NET 2.0 installed
2.) .NET Programmability Support installed

..NET 2.0 you can find at www.microsoft.com by searching for ".NET 2.0
Redistributable" or through Windows Update. The .NET Programmability Support
is an option in the advanced installation screens when you install Office
2007. To enable this feature, go to Add/Remove Programs and click on Office
2007. Click "change" if it's there, otherwise click "uninstall" and then on
the next screen look for a "change" or an "add/remove features" option. From
there, you need to find the installed components for Office 2007. Make sure
that ".NET Programmability Support" is selected to run on your computer (you
may have to dig a bit to find it). After this you will need to probably
uninstall and reinstall the "Getting Started" bars. They should now work
just fine.
