I got done installing the Microsoft Office 2007 Blue Edition on my father's computer.

For those of you who don't know, Blue Edition is the product released to the manufacturers for free use and no required CD Key.

Back to the issue... My father is using an Intel GMA 3100 graphics card with the pre-released driver from Windows Update.

Now, I don't have this issue with my built-in GeForce 6150 card (although, that's slightly expected considering it's a later card than this)

Now, as you can also see in the picture, it's a problem in Paint too. The pretty bubbly ribbon theme isn't there. Does anyone know the issue/fix??:confused2:

The problem is that you're not a manufacturer so you can't legally install that suite on your system.

I installed it on my computer and it works perfectly. My mother has a legit copy, I don't think it matters if I use this version or hers, she's not around so I decided to use this for my easy use of installation.

This is true.



And you can't force the classic UI in 2k7, so it is most likely a hardware issue (even though that sounds crazy).

I've been using the blue edition for almost a year, with no problems like this. It may just be a hickup in 7.
