User's post on December 19, In reply to Rohn's post on December 19, There are no other Office versions installed in the computer other than Office After running this fix-it, I rebooted the computer twice and ran Word as administrator, then it again showed 'configuring' window.
I waited till it is 'configured' and rebooted once more. User's post on December 20, OK, now that you've confirmed there are no other office installations we can rule that issue out. That leaves Access Rights. Windows has been tightening up granting of "access rights", starting in Vista and they get tighter in Win7 and Win8. Windows apps run from a "generic" registry key called "Current User" to make programming easiers.
When you log in to a specific ID, your registry settings are copied to the "Current User" key. When you shut down, if there have been changes, like installing Office, the current user settings are copied back to your specific ID in the registry. What appears to be happening is that at shut down the settings are not being copied from current user to your specific ID.
Therefore they have to be recreated each time, and you see the "configuring" message. There are also specific folders and files setup under your specific user profile but they are less of a problem. In reply to Rohn's post on December 20, I'm done with you Office !
Holy sh1tballs, Batman! I think you overloaded the poor guy. No, seriously, that was not a rhetorical question Rich Coe. Why would you even post this junk - we the customers want support - not guess work - if you don't know find another fellow in Microsoft to help. This type of software that's so difficult when it's shouldn't be, pushed me into QlikView In reply to Rich Coe's post on January 5,
