Sharepoint Designer 2007 Issue on x64

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.

Thoughts?

I lied....there were 4 events in the registry.

Detection of product '{91120000-0017-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}', feature 'WAC_CoreSPD', component '{9BED4C3D-06A0-43BA-A116-119ABB59E482}' failed. The resource 'HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.web\' does not exist.

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.

Uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail. I see on the public newsgroups there are a few other people having issues with this as well. At least it's only SPD for now.....

This is happening to me on a 32-bit Vista Ultimate platform. I get the same error in the event log. I too uninstalled and reinstalled Designer with no change.

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