Office 2007 Configuration Question

[Robert11]

Hello,

Was wondering if anyone might have any ideas on this

Am running WORD 2007 from MS Office Enterprise Edition.
Yes, it's a legal copy.

PC is about 4 years old, and running XP.

Everything is fine for a month or so, and then it wants to go into a
Configuration setup (again),
which takes about 5 minutes to do.

Then, everything is fine again for a month or two.

Any ideas why this might be ?

Thanks,
B.

Do you have both Word 2003 and 2007 on the machine? If you start Word 2003
and then later start Word 2007, the configuration will be reperformed,
unless you make the change to the registry detailed on the following page of
fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website

Applying certain updates will also cause Word to be reconfigured. I have
both Word 2003 and Word 2007 installed and have performed the Registry edit
to prevent Word 2007 from reconfiguring every time it is started, but this
morning, after installing updates last night, I got "Please wait..." the
first time I started Word 2007 today.
