Microsft Office Home and Student 2007

by rositam Oct 25, 2007 7:21AM PDT

I have installed the Microsoft Office HOme and Student 2007 suite on my computer, I updated from Microsft Office 2000 Professional. I realise that I don't have Microsoft Outlook on the new 2007 suite - but that's OK but everytime I go into my Microsoft Outlook - it gives me the message "please wait while Window configures Home & Office 2007. and then "configuration won't take place until start up. Of course, on start up this doesn';t happen but I keep getting this message everytime I choose Send/Receive on Outlook. Any ideas? Thanks

You can remove the pending install with this tool.

The Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility is noted at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301

It's the tool I use to correct this issue.

I thought it had but my error message is now back again. I downloaded the Cleanup Utility ...when I go to All Programs>Microsoft Utility> it tells me to choose an item for removal...don't know what to do there.

Sorry.

But since I can't see the list from the MICU I can't offer anything.
