Why does Word want to configure Office every time I try to launch it? All other Apps continue to work as expected.

I installed MS Office 2007 on a new Win 7 laptop, and it worked well for some time. The laptop was then used by another person for a while and when it got back to me, they must have tried to install Office 2010. Since I couldn't find any 2010 apps I uninstalled it, and returned to 2007. I have the install CD. After I did, all the apps worked well except Word. Word wants to "Configure Office" each time I try to launch it.

I saw this type of message once before when an older and newer version of Access were installed on the same OS.

I have tried to "Repair" it without any change. I should probably uninstall and reinstall Office 2007, and I can do that, but I'm curious if there is another perhaps faster way. I was thinking maybe some regedit changes.
