Hi

I have Vista Home Premium and a brand new Dell Laptop. I've just bought Office Ultimate 2007. Everytime I open outlook or try to take any action, I get "please wait while windows configures microsoft office ultimate 2007". it takes a good while before it goes away.
I have cleared the registry.
I have uninstalled the previous trial office
I have uninstalled ultimate and reinstalled
Turned off the User security
looked at loads of threads
Am at a loss and would be grateful for any help.
Thanks

Here is a possible fix,found online.

Rename the MS Office & Word Setup files - for me they were located in Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office/Setup. I renamed the two exe files in there - Acme & AcmeWord to Acmex & AcmeWordx.

how do i stop office 2007 configuring startup - Office Setup

May be a blind lead. Do you have your folder view settings to show hidden files
and protected operating system files?

I had previously set it to "Run all from my computer" but it didn't work. I also tried repairing office 2007 small business. I will try again. Thanks.

Did all 3 again - issued registry command, repaired Office 2007 SB and set to run from my computer. Still keeps configuring.
