Office 2007 Keeps Trying to Reconfigure/Reinstall

[NCPRIUS]

Running Vista Premium. All Office 2007 programs run through a reconfigure/reinstall cycle before they will open. Once opened, all programs work normally except Outlook which keeps trying to reconfigure/reinstall each time I send an eMail. It does send & receive email after the reconfig dance. Things I have tried: Uninstalled Office 2007 & reinstalled it (same problem). Ran Office Diagnostics (it claims everything is okay). Ran Office Repair (It claims everything is okay too). Deleted all shortcuts and created new ones (same problems). Arrrrgh! Please help. Thanks.

Try the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility . . . http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301

I'd like to try that clean-up utility but it states " We recommend that you do not use this utility with 2007 Office system products." That has me worried.
