Office 2013 will not open unless user is a Domain Admin

In order to get the Office 2013 suite to install from Office 365, I had to make all the users (115 in 4 offices) a domain admin, we then installed the software on everyone's computers and we have migrated our email. However, I now need
to remove all the users from being a domain admin, but when I do none of Office programs will open, no error message, just a spinning wheel for 10 seconds and nothing. I need to remove the users from being a domain admin as they can now see
network drives that they were previously restricted from. All computers are Windows 7 Pro. I have even installed the suite on a brand new computer, installed as admin, login as a domain user and nothing will open.
Thanks

What's the default right for the user in your domain, domain user?
Can we open the Office application when the domain user is in local administrator group?
Please turn off all of security programs and 3rd-party programs (Windows clean boot) and then launch Office component, such as Word.exe with safe mode. ("Winword.exe /safe") to check if it opens successful in non-domain user rights.
Don't use Office shortcut to open Office but double click the .exe file under %programfiles%\Microsoft Office to check if the office process appears in Windows Task Manager.
In addition, please go to eventvwr to check if there is any errors regarding to permission or Office exist. If so, post it here for further checking. Thanks.

Office 2013 Will not open documents in a shared folder but 2007 will.

Hi,
Recently we are testing office 2013 and have noticed a problem. When office attempts to open an Excel or Word document that is stored on a shared drive on the file server it will not open it. When you double click on the document, either word or
Excel, the appropriate Office app opens, but it opens on the start screen, i.e. the one with the templates displayed.
There are no error messages displayed , and it appears that the office app opens twice, i.e you see the splash screen with the app name on it two times in quick succession, however you cannot find two instances of the app open.
If you simply copy the document from the shared drive to the users desktop and then double click the file , the appropriate app opens and the file also opens without a problem.
Also if you go to a client machine with office 2007 loaded on it then the document on the shared drive opens without a problem at all.
The client machine with office 2013 is a Dell E7440 with windows 7 Pro 64bit.
Thanks in advance

I think its working now.
Here is what I had to do.
Delete Office from the machine once again, this time using the Microsoft tool to remove all remnants of the office software , then manually check the registry to see all the referenced keys had been removed.
Reboot.
Copy all the users data to another location on the same machine.
Delete the users profile.
Reboot.
Reload office using the link Dell sent me.
Reboot.
Log in as a domain admin and check that office would open the documents on the file share and it did.
Reboot.
Log in as the user who’s profile I had deleted so that the profile was recreated.
Attempt to open documents on the file share and it was successful.
Move most of the users data back to the users folder so that his system looked the same as before.
Reboot.
Try again to use office applications and open documents from the file share and it continued to function correctly.
Waited a day for the user to see how it went and it is still working now.
I have no idea what could have been causing this problem or why doing what I did above fixed it.
I hope the problem does not return.
Now we can move on with more testing to see its suitability to our field service engineers, remote connections and connections to our customer systems will be checked next.

Office 2013 will not open any applications

I am having a problem with a number of users complaining that Office 2013 applications will not open. I double click on the icon, or single click on the tile (Windows 8.1) nothing happens. Looking at the task manager the only thing related to the office
is the Office ClickToRun service is running.
The only thing I can do to get things working again is to do a full repair from the Programs and Features Control Panel Applet. I have tried the quick repair and numerous other things but nothing else works. I have let it go for many hours thinking it may
be installing something but still nothing happens.
Since I know how to fix it, the problem has a work around, however, since I am running a good number of workstations using 2013 this way I am afraid this is going to happen to more users (So far it is three users).
Please help, there must be a way to fix this instead of repairing every time it happens.

Hi,
Do you try to open Office with below methods?
Go to Office location folder to open Office suits.
Press Win+R>Enter winword.exe (or other)
If we can open them, please follow the KB and re-create the software shortcut in Windows 8.1
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2820848/en-us
If we still can't open them, please first let me know the update lists you have installed before this issue.
Then, restore the system back to the point when the Office app work fine.
As following, we can install these updates one by one to navigate which update cause this issue.
Then post back the KB number and full name here.
I will try to reproduce your issue and plan for further troubleshooting steps.
Thanks

Publisher 2013 - will not open under DOMAIN user profile.

Publisher 2013 - will not open/launch under a normal user profile. mspub.exe shows in taskmanager then disappears. This is a Windows 7 machine.

Hi,
If we create a new Windows account on the computer and start Publisher with the new account. Does it work?
If so, we maybe consider recreating the user profile of the specified account.
If the issue persists with the new account, please repair the Office program and then try again.
Best regards,

Office 2011 will not open in OS 10.9 with main user -- works with new user. Suggestions??

Office 2011 will not open in Mavericks with main user -- works with new user. Suggestions??
I've tried removing Office 2011 completely and re-installing to no avail.

Unfortunately, my experience with Office is that somethoping will get corrupted in your account that prevents it from running. I have never figured out what exactly needs to be removed to make it work again.

Firefox works fine until after lunch. Then it will not open, unless I reboot. Am at work, & I shouldnt have to do that, NEED a fix.

Everyday its the same thing. By midafternoon, Firefox will not open unless I reboot. I am at work, and have too many things open all day to stop and reboot for a browser, when I also have IE. I prefer Firefox, it is set as my default, and have many passwords saved there that are not saved in IE. Surely there is a fix for this? I have removed it, downloaded it again, followed other suggestions from your site, but still have the same problem. If I leave a window open all day long, it will still work for me, and thats what I try to do. However, invariably, there will come that accidental second that I hit the red X at the top and totally regret it! Please help!

I had tried this before, but went ahead and tried this again.
I clicked on "reset Firefox". Firefox closed, but did not come back up. When I tried to open it again, I did receive a message that said Firefox is running but is not responding, that I couldn't open another window without stopping the processes on the other page.
I never got a window that showed me the information that was imported, or a place to click finish.
Since I don't believe this completed, I don't believe my problem will be solved.

Do you see an error message when this happens?
If your computer has one of the LSPs mentioned in the article below, you may have to do a winsock reset or remove conflicting software.

Photoshop will not open unless as Admin but that causes other problems

Hi all,
There are two problems:
1. If I don't run photoshop as an administrator
2. If I run photoshop as an administrator.
1. If I don't run as administrator, Photoshop will NOT open. I can't even open .psd by double clicking them. Can't open from the installed directory, can't open from shortcuts. It only works if I right click run as admin or set properties to run as admin.
I am the only user for the system, and I have even taken ownership of all files. Yet, it still requires me to run as admin. I am running CS5 with windows 7 64bit.
2. If I run as admin I cannot drag or drop files into PS. As detailed in here - http://forums.adobe.com/message/3640635. I can open files manually through file menu, but dragging and dropping is disabled (shows a circle with a slash when i drag into PS). Their solution in the forum was to remove running as admin. But if I do that, I get problem 1.
Any ideas?
Jason

Option 1: Clearly something went wrong when installing Photoshop, or you have changed permissions on your system for some part(s) Photoshop needs to access. Verify, for example, that you have Full Control access to the root of the hard drive you have identified as scratch. A reinstall of Photoshop might correct this.
Option 2: Windows UAC is likely the culprit here. Some folks choose to turn off UAC completely, which means you'll be running everything as Administrator all the time, but that should not be done without FULLY understanding what UAC does for you and what additional measures you'll take to ensure your system doesn't get infected with malware.

Elements 12 will not open unless video driver is updated

I try to open Permier Elements 12 and I get an error message saying my video driver is incompatible and must be updated. I have checked the video card and the driver and Windows 7 says it is up to date.,

Glenn55Dickson
This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. Adobe might be able to resolve issues quicker typically because they can opt to take remote control of your computer to troubleshoot your issue for you. We cannot off that remote control over computer troubleshooting.
When you get that display error, the resolution is targets
a. Update the driver to the current driver version for the card
and, if necessary,
b. Delete the BadDrivers.txt file. If you have Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active and you do not see the file, then other program failure may be interferring with its generation. The rationale for the BadDrivers.txt file deletion can be found in post 10 of this older thread. This deletion has been a life saver to those using 9 as well as later versions getting the same message that you are getting.
Re: Premiere Elements 9 Tryout Serious Display Problem
If you want to check out the following additional troubleshooting, please see
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Premiere Elements 12 Editor Will Not Open
I have not mentioned this sooner since your reports all point to the video card/graphics card.
If you want to contact Adobe via its Adobe Chat, please consider the following link.
http://helpx.adobe.com/sea/contact.html?step=PRE_downloading-installing-setting-up_downloa ding-installing_stillNeedHelp
I have pre-set it for
Premiere Elements
Downloading, Installing, Setting Up
Download, Installing
which "should end" in a Chat Panel for you to click on.
I have pre-set the link to the web page which "should" have the Chat Panel. I am not sure if the link will hold the set.
If not, you need to navigate to the Chat Panel with the guideline topics cited above.
But, let me tell you now, Chat has been on and off available for some time now. At this very moment, it is in one of its off
moments.
But, if you really think that you can get a quicker resolution to your Premiere Elements issue from Adobe via Adobe Chat, then
please do so. Otherwise we could explore other troubleshooting avenues. Did you ever bother to disable the Intel HD Graphics
to determine the impact of that on the issue? Did you ever say what computer operating system your Premiere Elements is to be
run on? I have spared you the usual drill questions since your display error was glaring at us. So, I would ask what troubleshooting did you do in
the 7 hours that you said you spent on the program today that was not related to the video card/graphics card?
Please review and consider. I have no promotional interest in Adobe. My interests go to my fellow users with Premiere Elements workflow issues.

Safari will not open unless computer is booted in safe mode.

A few days ago I was using the internet and it randomly closed out. When I try to open Safari back up again, a very long error message popped up. So, I tried to quit Safari and reopen it. When that didn't work, I tried to restart my computer: that also did not work. I even tried letting my computer completely die, but Safari still will not open. The only way I can open Safari is if i first open my computer in safe mode, but when I do that, I have no sound and can not watch any videos on Youtube or Netflix. It shows that they are playing at the bottom, but there is no sound or picture.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
If Safari crashes on launch and you don't have another web browser, you should be able to launch Safari by starting up in safe mode.
You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those.
After removing the malware, remember to reset your home page in all the web browsers affected, if it was changed.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

Firefox will not open unless I run it in compatibility mode (Windows XP SP 3), run it as an administrator, or launch it immediately after a reinstall (the reinstall thing only works once.) How do I fix this?

This morning, Firefox crashed. After this, when I click the Firefox icon, the hourglass appears and then nothing happens. Firefox does briefly appear in the task manager when I do this.
I tried rebooting. I tried reinstalling multiple times. (Firefox will run when I select "Launch Firefox" from the installer. Then the problem occurs again.) I tried safe mode. I have found that Firefox will work if I select Windows XP compatibility mode from the icon properties menu or if I run the program as an administrator. When I do this, Windows asks me if I want a program to be able to make changes to my computer.
I have noticed that a Windows Error Report is being generated each time Firefox will not open.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

After latest update, Itunes will not open unless I allow itunes to change screen settings on my laptop. How do I stop this?

I have upgraded to the new version of Itunes 11.1 and everytime I try to open it it asks me to allow changes to be made to my computer. If i click yes it changes my screen size to 64bit so I cant see half the page. If i change the settings back to normal it works until shut down itunes and the reverts back to odd settings. If i click no it will not open at all. Ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling but same thing keeps happening. Can anyone help me please?

Is iTunes endlessly saying "Accessing iTunes Store"? Or is something a bit different going on?
