Scrap last message... I have been able (finally) to find a way to change the msconfig.exe in such a way that I have again a 'normal startup' for my windows 7..... I am now performing Windows updates. I will then perform a reinstall of Word 7 (I will try a 'repair' first). I will keep you in the loop. Many thanks again.

Thank you. I performed a 'clean boot', and after the restart, restored the msconfig.exe as suggested by Microsoft. I am now unable to startup my pc 'normal startup', and can only start it in SafeMode with limited Internet... I have tried all the usual (F8, &tc). All to no avail... In the meantime, the Word 2007 continues to misbehave. Somehow, matters are now worse than yesterday... Any suggestions to repair this? Many thanks.

Sorry for delay. I was away from my pc. I am grateful for your assistance! I was able to tick all the boxes in the Local Temp Security window, including 'Permissions to SYSTEM' as you suggested. Alas, the problem remains. To clarify: Now, and when the problem started, I was able to click the Windows icon, but instead of it loading, it came up with the following message: < Error 2503 . Internal error has occurred. CONTACT Microsoft Product Support Service (PSS) for assistance. For location, see: C:\\Users\ \App Data\Local\Temp\Setup 000003a0\PSS.1DR.CHM. Error 2503.C:\\Users\ \App Data\Local\Temp\Setup 0000030\PSS10R.CHM > Both locations are 'empty'... When I tried to re-instal (without uninstalling the product) and choosing < Repair > I got the same message. If I 'cancel' the message, then eventually, I can download the Windows Word programme.

Thank you, Xilo. I have done this to ALL the options (Administrator already had all the boxes ticket in grey). What should I do next?

Dear Xilo, Many thanks. Yes, I have all those in my first panel, and found the items in the second panel by clicking on TEMP and 'edit', and it showed up. Ditto with TMP. What should I do next?

My Microsoft Office Word 2007 is playing up. It produces a message "Error 2503 Internal error has occurred". I alsdo get this message when I try to either 'repair' or reinstall the programme... Please help... URGENT...

Dear Xilo, Many thanks for this. I have reset my UAC to 'maximum' and will use 'standard account' as suggested. I will keep an eye on this, especially if Google Chrome returns... I am sure that your advice will be able to solve my predicament. Best wishes, brabo1098

How can I prevent interfering and patronising Google Chrome from installing on my pc with monotonous regularity?
