Vista app launch

[WW89]

ok, i have this problem with 2 applications. they are skype and MS office 07 (cant remember which version.) everytime i launch either skype, word, publisher... they go into a semi "install" and configuers the program to my computer. skpye takes <3 seconds but MS office apps take a good 5 minutes.

im using vista ultimate 64, MS office 07 and skype. all are legal and registered keycodes... patched up/latest version. my local cafe doesnt know what the problem is so im hoping somone here has some ideas.

ow yes and i have tried re installing office. im downloading skype again now, but i doubt it will run any different than it is now.

thanks for reading, hope you can help

Is your login an administrator on Vista?

[WW89]

yes

on the installer/laucher .exe right click and then select "run as administrator"

hmm tried "run as administrator" on the skype .exe but windows still configures it each time i lauch it. i asume it will do the same for MS office...
