User cannot run any Office applications even though they are admin member

I have an XP machine with Office 2k7 installed. I have one domain user who is listed as a member of the admins on this machine. This user cannot run any MS Office applications. When I launch any Office app as this user there is NO feedback and no error - it just does not run. Other users have no problems at all in running any and all applications including Office.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Office apps as this user. This doesn't make any difference. Other users can run the apps just fine while the user that did the install cannot.

I have even removed this users account from the machine and recreated the account, ensuring that this user is a member of the admins. They still cannot run the applications.

I haven't a clue on solving this issue and would appreciate some feedback.

 

Check your event logs to see if there are any error reported. Also check task manager to see if anything is (not responding)

 

Nothing in event logs and no hanging processes.

It's like the user didn't do anything.

 

Can other users on that computer run Office apps? What about Administrator?

 

All other users can run the apps without any problems, including administrators, and members of administrator group.

 

How about installing it as another administrator and not that person. Also, did you go into My Computer >> Properties and clear out his profile from the advanced tab and then try the reinstall?

 

I've tried both installing Office as that user and uninstalling and reinstalling as a different admin user. Same results.

I have deleted that user profile but I don't recall if I used the advanced tab. It has been a while since I tried that.
