    Office 2007 configuring every time it's opened, will this be fixed in Windows 7?

    Office 2007 configures every time I open a document/email attachment on my Dell Studio 1555. The laptop is currently running Vista. When I upgrade to Windows 7, will this issue go away? Is it just a Vista problem?

    Has anyone using Windows 7 RC had this problem and fixed it?

    Office 2007 works fine on Vista and Windows 7 RC.

    Something's messed up in your Office 2007 installation probably. I suggest uninstalling and re-installing.

    Do you have a Dell? Something I read said this is a Dell-Specific problem (don't know if I trust that).

    Also, did you start out by doing a clean install? It appears that a clean install solves the problem for some people, but I don't know what I'm doing, so I don't want to do that...
