I am using Office 2010 Home and Student Edition on Windows 7 Home Premium. After a recent automatic update, I now have problems. When I start Office, I get the "installing updates, please wait" splash screen. When the green progress bar is almost complete, I get the "Error 1907. Could not register font" error message. If I chose "Ignore" or "Retry", I am stuck in a loop. The only option is to "Abort". Then I get a message that the changes are being rolled back. I can now use Word with no problems until the Microsoft mothership releases another update for Office. Then I go through this nonsense again.
Probably you have already replied to this post about the known fix for this known problem. If you have bothered to read this far, I can tell you that I have tried the
SFC /SCANNOW
fix, and it does not work
for my problem. The scan completed and reported no problems. I did not have a problem when installing Office, and I am not running Vista or Server 2008, which seem to be the circumstances the SFC fix addresses.
For now I have turned off Microsoft Updates (leaving Windows Updates active), but this is not a real fix.
