Office only works for admin

I had to reinstall Office 2007 and after going through the installation I can only use Word, Outlook, etc. when I right click the app and "Run as administrator".
I've tried using Brink's Take Ownership Tutorial and I have run the repair from the office cd with no luck. Also, I am the only user and use an admin account.
Any ideas how I can get ownership of my files back?

Yup - uninstall Office again and then reboot and reinstall.

Re: Office only works for admin

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling a few times now. I think Office 2003 is messing me up, I've been trying to uninstall office 2003 for a while now with no luck. I've searched this error and can't find a solution. All I want to do is completely remove Office 2003 and then install Office 2007.
