Office Home and Student 2007

Each time I open Office Home and Student 2007 under Vista I get this window that opens first. When I cancel this window, I can continue. I can not find what is causing it, or how to correct it. Any help??? Thank you.

what happens when you run winword.exe from start/run?

You say "each time I open Office...". Office consists of number of programs.
From the dialog you're getting, I'd guess that you're opening Word, and that
the shortcut you're using is damaged--it's telling Word to open word.pip,
rather than simply to open. I would suggest that you run a Repair and see if
that fixes it. If not, you can manually create a new shortcut that should
work fine.

To repair, start Word... and get past the dialog. Then click Office button
(upper left corner), Word Options (next bottom), Resources tab, Diagnose.

To create a new shortcut for starting Word, use Windows Explorer to navigate
to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12, find WINWORD.EXE, and use the
right mouse button to drag to the Desktop or to the Quick Launch bar, and
choose Create Shortcut Here.

I ran the repair, and is working now, thank you.
