    Problems running Office 2007

    I'm working on a Dell Studio laptop running Vista 64 Home Premium and trying like heck to get Office 2007 to install & run. The install seems to go ok, but when I try to run any of the Office apps, I get errors. Outlook seems to think I don't have Office installed and tells me to run Setup or reboot. Neither of those do any good. If I try to run Word or any other Office app after trying to run Outlook, I get not enough RAM or disk space. Since this is a new laptop with 4Gb of RAM and a 320Gb drive, I really doubt that's the issue. any ideas of what i need to do next? I have not tried to update Office yet, so I'll I'll try that next.

    Ok, I found the problem, now I need to find the fix. If I drill down into the Progam Files and right click on the app, select Run as Administrator, the program runs fine. Now...how do i get the program to run as a user?

    Now that you have it working keep in mind the word docs will not open in older versions of word for people to read them. The string is a .docx compared to a .doc in older versions. Just a note to help out.
