Office 2007 Small Business Upgrade

I had to replace my hard drive and when I reloaded the MS office suite I had
to first load Office 2003 then do the upgrade. My problem is that everytime
I start any Office program (Outlook, Excel, Word) the computer says wait for
MS office to configure? If I hit cancel the message goes away and the
program opens fine - but its annoying to have this happen everytime I use a
MS program. ANy help?

You did not have to install Office 2003 first to install the upgrade version
of Office 2007. All you had to do was start the install of '07 and when it
said it couldn't find a qualifying product you put in the O'03 disk and
point the installer to that CD's location. Let it read the disk and then
put the '07 disk in when it tells you to.

Have you made sure that you have run the program as an administrator when
you started the program at least once? There is a fix but I can't seem to
find it right now. If no one else posts soon I'll try to dig out the fix in
the morning.
