Default Office 2007 Keeps installing

Hi

new Dell PC with Vista Home Premium. Office 2007 (Home & Student) keeps
wanting to (re or complete ?) install every time one selects a program from
the menu or shortcut. Running from the .exe file itself no problems. Dell
not much help ("we sell hardware...").

Much searching says de-install, use Install cleaner and re-install. All of
which I have done but to no avail

Any suggestions or am I just stuck with a poor piece of saftware ?

Did you uninstall your Trial version first?

I did not have a trial version, this was exactly as shipped from Dell with
Office 2007 pre-installed.

Started behaving like this out of the box

Had the same problem. This worked for me:
open one of the applications i.e. Word. Click on the Microsoft button at the
top left. At the bottom of the pop up screen next to the Exit button is the
applications options button, i.e. Word Options, click it. Click the Resources
button at the lower left of the pop up. Then click the button Run Microsoft
Office Diagnostics. Let it run. Mine found an error in the set-up part of the
test and fixed it automatically.

You have the Trial version. If it came with your computer from Dell then it is a
Trial version

Hey Pete, if you don't want to read the replies stop reading them. This
worked for me, what’s your problem? I'm sure this answers thousands of
problems or why did MS spend hundreds of thousands adding it to MS Office.
Chill.

Are you running Vista Home Premium with Office 2007 Home and Student which this
poster has? Your fix which you are posting wildly for different issues that OP's are
experiencing in Office is false.
When you will have credibility with your fix which is far fetching for some of the
issues that you answered to with the exact same fix then I will hear you.
Trying to tell an OP with an Office Enterprise which is a VL version and having an
installer issue to use your fix is a bit to much even to read.

Are you familiar at all with Office Enterprise ? or any other versions of Office
aside from yours which we do not even know since you did not post it saying that was
where your fix worked,
