Vista keeps configuring Outlook & Office . . .

by binggeli . Updated 15 years, 10 months ago

I have a brand new computer with a legitimate version of Vista Ultimate that came pre-installed, and I have a legitimate copy of Office 2007 on CD.

I installed Office on Tuesday and successfully worked in Outlook, Word and Access.

On Wednesday, I started Outlook, and it came up with some kind of “needs to be configured” dialog box. I let it do that, then it wanted to reboot, and I let it do that, too. While doing so, some other Office process wanted to kick in and install something, but I was already getting the RESTART NOW option and did so.

After that, something else needs to finish the previous Office “configuration” and takes several minutes to do so. Again, it wants to reboot, something else wants to finish, then I get the RESTART NOW option.

To make a long story even longer, this keeps going on and on and on, even after re-installing (repairing) Office from the CD. It’s a never-ending cycle.

I’m the only user on this computer and set myself up as an administrator.

Any ideas where I need to look or make a tweak? Any help or links would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
