853592 2010-01-31 01:48:00 So what steps have you tried so far - since posting. (see edited below)

Edited: OK replied while posting :)


Sometimes there is "no one fix"

The Reg thing -- Just make a restore point first - that way if it doesn't work, or makes it worse, simply run restore back.

Out of Interest -- Does it ask you to activate ?

Somethign else I just found post 3 (forums.techarena.in)

Open the reg - locate the .pip folder - right click it / permissions/ Select your Log in - put a tick in "full Control".

i did uninstall with the software you posted and i also reinstalled it as an admin but it still does the same thing, i don't quite get the post above

853593 2010-01-31 02:12:00 I assume you refer to the reg entry - open regedit - Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pip Example (www.imagef1.net.nz)

Right Click it ( the folder as highlighted on the left) , Click permissions, Click users ( in brackets will be your login name) Once selected - tick Full Control, Apply.

If you have a re read of the link previously, ( post above) in post #3 the person actually deleted the key, then Office "should" re create it.

If it's running from the CD, sounds a bit like its not fully installing, Office 07 actually copies the all the files it needs to the HDD for installing.

Just REMEMEBR when ever altering the Reg, make a back up/ restore before doing any alterations, that way you put it back if it turns turtle.

853594 2010-01-31 04:13:00 Also if you re-install do a custom install and install all features rather than leaving some to be installed on first use. Sweep (90)
853595 2010-01-31 05:09:00 ok when i try editing it it comes up with a message

".pip cannot be opened
An error is preventing this key from being opened
details: access is denied"

then when i do get into it after a few goes and click permissions there is no user names under it should i try installing it again through custom install then try again?

853596 2010-01-31 05:24:00 Try this (social.technet.microsoft.com).

The fix to the problem is very simple as it turns out - simply run the following commands by typing it into the Start/Run command box. Use the line with Office\11.0 if you have Office 2003 installed and Office\12.0 if you have Office 2007 installed. You can use both if you have both installed :

reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\Options /v NoReReg /t REG_DWORD /d 1 - If you have Office 03

reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Options /v NoReReg /t REG_DWORD /d 1 - If you have Office 07

That is it. Office 2007 might want to have one more spin round the block with it's configuration dialog box, but that should be it.

I'm not sure if this fix will work with Windows 7, but I know it works with XP & Vista.
