Uninstall Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007.

I don't know and really don't care! Your (smart ***) question should be
directed to makers of the program disk (setup.exe 'Change your installation
of Microsoft Enterprise 2007) on which one can find and select three (3)
options viz:
1.Add or Remove Features
2.Repair
3.Remove
Since uninstalling Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 in 'Add or Remove
Programs' panel is not working it is not, in my view, unreasonable to try
the option as offered on the disk.
Try to let off some the hot air...

Wiping the HDD and reinstall the OS is on the agenda :-(

My day-to-day work is conducted in a Least-privileged User Account (LUA).
The only way I can access Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 in LUA is via the
'Run as...' option.

In hindsight I am pretty sure fouling up when installing Microsoft Office
Enterprise 2007.
I remember after that completion, in Admin A/C a window/panel popped up
indicating my surname 'York' on the top line and the initial 'Y' (of my
first name Yvonne) on the bottom line; I clicked OK and all is working in
this account.

In LUA the same panel popped up indicating my LUA name (which is Yorkielady)
on the top line. Since my LUA name is a single name and does not have first
name, I was surprised that the bottom line showed the letter 'Y', so I
deleted this letter from the bottom line and clicked OK. This may have
caused that I cannot access the program in LUA. Other than uninstalling and
reinstalling I have absolutely no idea as how to access this particular
window/panel in order to edit (add) the initial to the bottom line.

I bought this version containing a valid key in Lao People's Democratic
Republic where I currently reside and work as a volunteer removing
explosives dropped by friendly folk from their B52's originating in Guam
some time ago. I am my own IT department and Educational Institution; I have
a suitcase full of hats! (Apologies for the OT stuff).

Fine, then do it your way. You've had so much success already, why
change now.

No, it's got all the wrappings, eye-candies etc., but, as far as I can
determine, it hasn't' got a hologram :-(
If it is a pirated version, it's a bloody good one! It is updating and
functioning very well in the Admin A/C and if I wouldn't use LUA we never
would have this exchange of messages.
If nobody can come up with a solution with respect to editing my LUA name
(refer to my post to DL) I proceed with wiping the HDD and re-install the
OS.

I believe the window & name details you refer to are for those that appear
in the file properties (author) of any doc you create, and as such amending
these details would'nt I believe have any impact on the user rights required
to run Enterprise.

Reading into the details of Enterprise & its requirements to run, it seems
to me that certain components of the program require full rights in order to
run, or at least their connection with other components.

Assuming this is your own PC & you are the sole user I dont really see any
problem with running Enterprise as an administrator, but thats just my view.

Interesting. Why should the Enterprise version need higher level rights to
run properly compared to Standard version I wonder?
