Can't get Office 07 Enterprise to Work
Hi All,
Let me start by saying.....Why is it EVERYTHING in Windows 7 seems to be a hassle...I can't even install one of Microsoft's own programs without having issues!
This all started when I decided to upgrade from Office 03 because I could not get Windows mobile device center(Another Microsoft Application) to sync my PDA to Outlook, So I figured maybe it was due to an outdated office suite! Now I installed Office 07 Ent. Ed. using the "Run as admin" option on the setup (Even though I am installing from an admin account....Why did MS make things this difficult in Win7?)
So now when I click on ANY of the office apps I get...
"Microsoft Office XXXX has not been installed for the current user. Please run setup to install the application."
I don't understand this....The current user is THE ONLY USER and it is the admin account....I have tried taking "Ownership...another lovely hoop Win 7 seems to like to make you jump through!" I have made sure that the current USER has any and all "Permissions" granted.....The only way I can seem to get any of them to work is by going into compatibility mode and checking the "Run as Administrator" option, and then some of the apps wont run in compatibility mode, and I should not have too use this mode anyway, from what I understand!
I apologize for the rant, but I REALLY am about ready to give up on Win 7 and go back to XP, and I really like 7, when it works! These are NOT the first programs I have had issues with and I am really tired of having to use "Workarounds" to get programs to run!
Please Help me figure out what I am doing wrong? Do I need to have more then one account set up, an Administrator ONLY account and then My everyday use account? The way I have it setup now is when I fire up my PC it boots and goes strait into my "Mikes" account without any password....Is this my problem? Does the admin account HAVE to be passworded? IDK...
Thanks in advance for any help,
Mike
