So I'm at a lost to know what to do and I have work I need to access! any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Steve,.

Thanks for the reply again, I just did a Tassel factory by pressing F8 at startup upward and then through the options and make Factory Image Restore (after saving the contents of the hard drive to external hard drive) which took about 5-8 minutes after the return and then re-installed all my programs etc. , and everything works fine!

So I say this to all who have the same problem and no other method does work, simple - easy - fast!

    A computer virus hit the machine so that the operating system must be reinstalled. In order to save the programs installed, I don't have a format and reapplied just windows + service pack.

    The office and programs are correct, but when I go to launch some programs (such as Excel, Word, WordPerfect), I get "this action is only valid for products that are current installed. I found a MS fix, but it doesn't install it stating that the level of the OS already contains the fix. I also found a pointer to move to the word 'Detect and repair' but Word does not start, so I can't have this option.

    I suspect I am missing some link between the old installation of windows and the new facility. I do not have the older Office CD so I can't reinstall. Did someone knows something I can check to try to get the Office to acknowledge that it is valid for this user. Betsy

    You are missing a lot of the associations. You need to reinstall your programs from the CD or the installable executables. I'm sorry that you do not have your Office CD-ROM, but you cannot reinstall Office without it. You can:

    This sounds like your problem? - http://forums.whatthetech.com/index.php?showtopic=104537&hl=This+action+only+valid+products+that+currently+installed+Windows

    It lists the reg keys his looking, then you might check to see if you put them before doing anything.

    Back up your registry and set a restore point before taking any action - assuming that is your problem.

    Also, if you download and run the file, AV check it before running it - just in case.

    NOTE: the above was found by google, I have not tried that I have not had the error. I can't say if it works or not.


    PS - Also, FYI, while the research I found this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/893048 , but it seems specific to XP - SP2. Don't know if there is an equivalent W7.
