My apologizes if this is in the wrong place.
Running Vista Ultimate x64 with Office 2007 and SharePoint Designer 2007. Every time I open up SharePoint Designer I get:
Configuring Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007
And it does that for 90 seconds or so then starts it up. It does that from a shortcut, from the Start menu, from Start Run or from an HTML file and Open With...
I see nothing in the event logs or anything anywhere else I can think to look.
It does not do this on another machine running x86 version.

I try to go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.web\ and I cannot access that key. The error I get is ".web cannot be opened. An error is preventing this key from being opened. Details: Access is denied."
I can access everything else and UAC is off.

Other users are not reporting this problem...it seems that something may be corrupted.
