Issues with MS Office 2007 - AutoCorrect file \MSO2057.acl could not be saved

I just installed Office 2007 on Windows 7, and as soon as I open up any office app I get the error:

Your Autocorrect file, \MSO2057.acl, could not be saved.
The file may be read-only, or you may not have permission to modify the file.

my user account is an administrator, and browsing to the file, there's nothing weird with the permission to modify the file (ie my user account has write rights).

Any help??

when I try to close Word....the following error appears..."word cannot save or create this file.  Make sure that the disk you want to save the file on is  not full, write-protected, or damaged (C:\normal.dotm).

it tries to save the normal.dotm file, but can't saying I don't have permission to do so, then another error comes up saying that "changes have been made that affect the global template, Normal.dotm...."

I've tried to reinstall Office still no luck.

Again any help is appreciated.
