I am having problems running Oulook after the office installation is complete. I have installed office onto a NT workstation OS as administrator, as you need administative rights to install office. The problem arises when you log back on as a normal user and double click an Outlook, it comes up with an error "cannot start outlook". I have installed Office as the local administrator and as the network administrator and it still does not work. I have given the normal user local administrative rights and installed office this way and it still does not work. Outlook appears only to work for the user of which installed office and no-one else. Can you please help me solve this installation problem.

The permissions in your registry are wrong. You need to set "full permission" for the user, to allow the user to run Outlook.
To do this, have a look at:

I have given the user full control on the local machine, but when you log onto the network on that machine, I still cannot run outlook. Outlook will only run for that user if I log onto the "machine name" and not the network domain. I do not want to log on as admin because I am not using the machine, its for a user of which I do not want to give administrative rights.Thanks for you help, any info is appriciated. So if you have any more ideas let me know.

try adding the domain name/user to the local machine administators group while logged in as a domain admin.
