I'm having some problems with the MS Office 2007 suite. As you can see in the attached image, the color scheme is pretty screwed up; as if the skin is not there at all. It doesn't make a difference what color scheme you try to use, they all look like this. This affects the whole suite (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, ect). So far, I've tried:

-Running diagnostics
-Repair function
-Reinstalling
-Uninstalling then reinstalling
-Uninstalling, clearing out the program files directory, then reinstalling

This affects every user logged on to the system. The machine is running XP, and we have other machines of the same make/model running the suite without issues.

Has anyone else seen this? Out of about 100 users, this is the only one I've seen like this. Any ideas? Thank you for your help.

Maybe it's a hardware issue rather than a software issue. I am assuming since you did not indicate other programs being run on this particular station are affected in the same manner, hardware has not been a suspect in the issue. My thought is that with MS Office 7 being new with new programing that other programs are not affected because they would not require - whatever it is that MS Office is - to have color be affected. If other machines are running OK and this one isn't - what is different about this machine?
Maybe it has a different piece of hardware from the others... Just a thought - another place to look for the reason it's happening.

I have experienced the same problem today. Yesterday the appearance of the Office applications were fine. Today, when I brought up my computer and opened up MS Excel, I saw the problem. I have no explanation as to what happened during shutdown and startup that caused the problem.
