Hello,
My copy of Microsoft Word 2007 doesn't Work. When I start it up, the process takes up about 4200k of RAM for 2 secs, then it cancels, no GUI appears. I did a Process Monitor scan, and it appears that a registry key is the culprit. specifically "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-21-2116093324-2522989915-1662506377-1008\Components"
However when i try to delete it i get an error,
(Cannot delete Components : Error While Deleting Key).
I tried using RegAssassin to delete the key, and I got another error message
(The registry key you have specified does not exist or is not visible to RegAssassin. This may be cause by a set permissionthat does not allow RegASSASSIN to see it, would you like to continue?)
Upon Clicking yes I get Another error message
(Reg ASSASSIN is about to perform the actions on the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-21-2116093324-2522989915-1662506377-1008\Components
Deleting a system important registry key may cause the system to lose functionality. Please make sure this is the correct registry key and click yes to continue.)
Upon Clicking yes it the program says
(The registry key has been deleted Successfully!)
However in REGEDIT I get the same error message as previously
there are no other entries past the default on the side bar

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance

Ooh, and i would like to add that when i log in under a different account it works fine

hmmm...ample information provided...
the registry deletion will always be a problem when the s/w gets corrupted or any start-up files get deleted....

>>Ooh, and i would like to add that when i log in under a different account it works fine

Works fine!!!....then why r u deleting the registries...its problem with login authorization.

If you have the back-up, try reinstalling in that user account.

I installed in that user account meaning the one with the error is ADMIN account, and the on that works is the limited, i installed in the admin account, before i posted I reinstalled it 5 times, and sat through 2 5 hour virus scans.

uh, apparently the word problem spontaneously fixed itself, meaning i was able to delete that particular registry key i specified earlier. FML

what can i do ?, i lost my office student 2007 licence

Buy a new key, or get open office

Word 2007 will open in my profile but not in a different user profile. Also, if I use the 'run as' in the different profile with my credentials, it will open word doc. So it appears to be with the users profile but where will I look? Any help is appreciated
