Office 2007 No Longer Working
Good afternoon,
I have been running a legit copy of Microsoft Office Professional 2007 Retail now for about 9 months, on a legit Win XP Pro system. 2GB system RAM, 24GB free on the system drive. It has been working sweet since today, when I attempted to load Excel, but was greeted with the message: "Not enough memory to run Microsoft Office Excel. Please close other applications and try again.". Working as IT tech support, I have seen this numerous times over all editions of Excel, and typically the quickest fix is a simple reboot of the machine. I tried this, to find my Outlook 2007 (running as part of startup) also failed to load with the following error: "Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot initialize Microsoft Office shared utilities. Restart your computer or reinstall Microsoft Office Outlook". I have now tried rebooting several times. Running scandisk, and running a full Office repair. The problem still persists. So far I can not find any useful fixes via Google/Microsoft Knowledgebase. Even though the error occurs frequently, solutions are for different versions of Office, under different circumstances which I can not execute (ie: renaming files which do not exist on my version). Excel, Access, Publisher and Outlook are used extensively on a day-to-day basis on my system. Short of uprooting my entire Office installation, manually clearing out any remnants and installing from fresh (unpreferable!), any suggestions would be very appreciated! Thank you for reading. EJ |

Office 2007 No Longer Working
I too am getting this problem.
I've also tried uninstalling but that fails and re-installing from the CD causes this error: "Error 25004.Config.Xml not specified; A valid config.xml file must be authored when deploying '(null)'." Anyone seen this?

EJ I still am no closer to resolving this problem, and am disappointed at the lack of help apparent in this group Am I not providing certain information necessary? Please tell me! I have now uninstalled again, manually removed any remnants of office I can find, ran a registry clean, and reinstalled - EXACTLY the same problem! Microsoft Office diagnostics IS A COMPLETE JOKE. It suggests I load one of the applications and access the trust centre.... quite hard when the reason I am running diagnostics is because the applications won't launch! Surely someone can help me remove Office 2007 completely? A list of ..dlls/config files etc which uninstalling doesn't remove? Thanks in advance. EJ |

My problem started about 2-3 days before yours (approx April 5). Been running Office Professional 2007 on a Toshiba laptop for over a year. It is a legal version. Have tried all the same remedies as you with no avail. Still working on finding any remnants of the previous install that may be causing the issue. I'll keep you posted. |

EJ I seem to have found a 'sort' of fix. It seems that creating a brand new Windows user profile, and logging to that reveals that Office will launch fine. Which must mean the corrupt/failing/persistant files do indeed exist somewhere within the user profile. The few posts online I read on this, reveal that no-one has ever successfully 'fixed' this problem yet. I really don't want to have to spend God knows how long bringing my new profile back in line with my old, and I prefer a fix than a work-around any day, so if anyone can provide a complete list of Office related files which exist within the user profile, I would be extremely grateful.
