re: Office 2007 Uninstall/Reinstall Problems Wednesday, October 21, 2009 at 11:44 am Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Adam Bradley (7830 messages posted) An old XP trick you can try is running the installer in compatibility mode for an older OS, only worked in rare cases but worth a try.
