I don't have Vista or 2007 installed so can't be much(any?) help with folder
locations.

Others can help and I'm sure someone will. Watch this thread.

Gord,
Thank you. I think this is my problem. A couple of questions. I am using
office 2007 on vista. I tried to install acrobat 5.0 but it failed since it
cannot run in vista. I suspect it still loaded those files. I since have
installed cutepdf and pdfcreator vs. acrobat 5.0. The question i have is do
you know where the startup is located for office in 2007 in vista? In xp i
can see the documents and settings folder (by selecting to view system and
hidden files and folders) but in vista, i cannot see the folder "documents
and settings" or any other windows folder that is used - that is, also the
location for the outlook .pst files. I cannot see those folders even though I
know where they are based on outlook options.

thank you again.

This may help.................

See KB article

The PDFMaker.xla and maybe PDFMaker.dot are stored in your Office\XLSTART
folder or in the Excel\XLSTART folder.

Any files in these folders will open with Excel.

You must remove them from the XLSTART folder.

I get the error message in excel - "compile error in hidden module:
autoexecnew" when i start excel and Distmon when I exit. I do notice that i
have "non-commercial use" in the title bar. Not sure but it could be that i
upgraded to office 2007 on my new laptop with vista ultimate but still using
it on my old one until all my data is moved over especially outlook. I am
thinking that the activation process may have added that to the words in the
title bar (it is on all programs - outlook, excel, word, and powerpoint) but
not sure if that is what is causing the errors. I did not have these errors
on my old pc using xp. thank you.
