Hello

You probably do not have MS Word on your computer. You can download Word Viewer that allows you to view, print and copy in another program from this link (click to download button).

    Yes, Microsoft Office Word is responsible.

    Save it in a folder of your choice. See if you can open it.

  • Cannot open Word/Excel

    Presario CQ56

    I recently discovered that Microsoft Office won't open. Finally I used it about 2 weeks ago and it was fine. The only change I can think in the intervening period is a system restore. I have installed recommended updates HP that actually no difference. The message I get says:

    Microsoft Word Starter 2010 cannot be opened. Try again or repair the program in Control Panel.

    I've been in Control Panel and can't see where I'm supposed to go to fix it so any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks, Gareth

    Use the programs and features in Control Panel to repair attempts. Office Starter to highlight in the list programs and features, and then click the button 'Edit' at the top, then this screen opens, select "repair".

  • Cannot open Word or PowerPoint in an e-mail message

    I bought RegServe and Driver Robot and now I can open is no longer attachments in an e-mail message. I run Vista 32-bit.

    What do you expect, you have installed two applications allmost gueranteed to destroy your system.
    Pilots are obtained from your site if OEMs like Dell / HP or a laptop or a generic PC from various hardware manufacturers sites.
    Unless a driver update is required to provide greater functionality, or cure a bug to know, leave them alone. If it isn't broken don't fix.
    Do NOT use winupdate for drivers not more.
    In what concerns the 'cleaners' If you don't know how to clean manually and is rarely necessary, you don't leave things alone.
    Like it uninstall these useless, destructive programs and run a repair using your office CD Office

  • Cannot open Word HR

    I work with RH X 5 on Windows XP running MS Word 2003.

    My problem is that when I opened my project in HR for Word (using WinHelp 4) I get a message that says "Unable to open MS Word" or something like that.
    Thus, when I make changes to my document and then compile it, none of the changes appear in the compiled help file.

    So I can drop my document of HR, and then import it again to see if HR connect and then view my changes the. HLP file after compilation?

    Thank you

    Have you installed the patch RH for Word 2003?

    Word 2003 has been installed after the HR? If it was, perhaps, in any case, I would be uninstall and then Reinstall RH.

    OT: problem.

    Hi all

    I used ccleaner, after finishing, I was not able to access to word or ppt... I am getting error 1719 and problems with windows install and I got dnssd missing dll, but I put one in Wow64. I really don't know where the problem lies... I tried everything from softbooting to sfc/scannow... I have windows 7... I copied the log on the desktop and I noticed this repetition:

    but I do not understand... Someone help please urgent.

    I used ccleaner

    -> Why would you do that? CCleaner is known to cause problems!

    ->, You might be able to repair the damage with the system restore. It allows setting up Windows to a point before using CCleaner.
