Office 2007 Configures Every Time

[Dan Dee]

Have read previous threads regarding the configuration process initiating at
startup of Excel and Word (but not PowerPoint). Have not read a definitive
solution. Am using Ofc Home & Student 2007 on Windows XP. It replaced Ofc
2003. Ofc 2003 was removed during the 2007 instln. (At least it disappeared
from view.) I did not have a Trial version before installing Ofc 2007.
Went straight from 2003 to 2007. All updates, Service Packs 1&2, security
patches, etc. are installed but problem persists. System reboots have not
helped. This happens at initial startup of Word/Excel without even opening a
previously saved document. Is this really a MS software bug or does an
additional installation step remain?

Solution is to uninstall everything associated with Office and any previous remnants
including Activation Assistant and then re-install Office 2007
