| 589612 | 2007-09-09 12:22:00 | My installed version of Office 2007 keeps on reconfiguring every time Outlook is opened. It then demands a reboot and gives an error msg which says "this sometimes happens if Windows installer is incorrectly installed" or similar msg. It is running on Vista on an Acer laptop with 2 gigs of ram. I have reinstalled the entire thing - which it claims to have done successfully, then whamm... start up an app and it does it again. Anyone struck this? |

| 589614 | 2007-09-10 21:10:00 | Many thanks for this.... visiting the Microsoft site I notice their "latest" installer is dated 2005 and there is an NT version dated 2001. Not sure of the status of these pre Vista beasts so am treading carefully. I appear to have resolved the problem by uninstalling the Business Contacts manager which I have done by whipping it out of the add ins.... That is the current state of a pretty long story mind you. Suffice to say I am more than familiar with the capabilities of the Vista restore command - which drops off earlier dates fairly quickly so it pays to be careful. |

| 589615 | 2007-09-10 21:25:00 | I've had a few problems with customers also using Office 2007, each time it appears to be problem with the contact manager now that you mentioned it. Maybe theres a fault with it somehow.? |

| 589616 | 2007-09-10 22:44:00 | Yes - even judging by the start up time, Business Contact Manager seems to load an awful lot of overhead - database stuff etc... and there are a pile of web related "features" in it which no doubt chew up resource and increase the probability of error. Seems to be a risk not worth taking relative to reward - especially given that most things one might want to do can be achieved via some combination of tasks and contacts. |
