Microsoft works 8.5

How to reinstall microsoft works 8.5 on windows vista

mvbtonfl,
Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers forum.

You try to reinstall Microsoft Works 8.5 on a Vista computer?  Does this mean that this program was previously installed on this computer and you want to reinstall or - this a new computer or a computer upgraded, and you want to install it on Vista for the first time?

You have the original CD of the works?  The only way to install it is from the original CD that you got when you bought, or works that came with your computer when you bought it.  If your computer came with preinstalled program and the manufacturer doesn't has not provided you with a CD, you will need to contact the manufacturer to obtain a copy of the CD.

If you have the CD of works, it is enough to insert it into the CD/DVD drive and follow the instructions to install the program.

    Hello

    It is a simple generic error message that you will always see when the programs or applications crash.

    Something was wrong, but I can't tell what's wrong with your MS works.
    If you want the event viewer for errors, but to be honest, you can check this will not help you much if you're not computer.

    I gogoled a little and some people brought on the same error in MS Word, but like I said above; This is a generic error message.

    However, the people have this problem than by the new installation of MS Works.
    I don't know if you received a MS Works Mr. disc if so, remove/uninstall the MS Works the system first, reboot the laptop and use the MS Works drive for new installation.

    Satellite A300-1EH

    My laptop has been repaired. Exchange service throughout the system. I have serious problem since then.
    The new version of Microsoft Works requires me 25 - the key of the product registration. I don't have him. Where can I get this version, the product key?

    It did not help me Microsoft or service. They sent me manufacturer...

    Hello!

    You have installed a newer version of Microsoft Works? Normally, you can only use the version preinstalled work and so you do not need a key. It s already active and ready to use.

    I think you use HARD drive recovery option to get a working dos version Works. :(

  • Scan to Microsoft Works

    When the scan on my Dell function no longer works, I bought a HP Deskjet 3070 e-all-in-one. This allowed me to analyze for the Microsoft Works word processor for editing documents.

    I can't find this option on the HP. I lost my money?

    Thank you

    Hello MasAnne

    At this point, it seems the best thing to do would be to do a search with your preferred for the ROC "ocr software" free search engine stands for optical character recognition. OCR, is what allows to scan 'read' the words on the documents and put them into an editable document. There are both paid and free OCR software out there I suggest that you look at. FreeOCR is one of the applications that you can watch.

    Alternatively, you can upgrade to Microsoft Works suite. There are several versions of the works since then as well (Works 9.0 was released in 2008).

  • Insert the CD-ROM for Microsoft Works 9.0 for critical updates

    How to change when I am asked to insert the CD-ROM for Microsoft Works 9.0 for the updates to take place? Given the computer came with all the software already installed and there is no disk provided. I can guarantee for hardward problems no software issues. Really need help on this one to prevent threats to the computer.

    Hi Cj_jez,

    1 is Microsoft Works and you will prompt to install the update or you are trying to install it via Windows updates?

    As the message is asking you to insert the CD of Microsoft Works 9.0, you will need to insert the right disk to install the update. As the computer came with all already installed software, the best option would be to contact the manufacturer of the system that has installed all the software on the computer.

    In the meantime, try the following steps and check the result.
    Step 1: Manually install the update
    a. visit the link and look for update for Microsoft Works 9
    http://www.Microsoft.com/products/works/downloads.mspx
    b. open the downloaded file and install it.
    c. once the update is installed, restart the computer and check the result.

    You can also get in touch with the support of Microsoft Works team to see if there are other options to install the update without using the disc:http://www.microsoft.com/products/works/support.mspx

  • How Microsoft Works faster?

    I don't have a windows 7 for the time so using 'microsoft works '.  It is very slow to load and takes forever to print.  Can anyone help please?

    I been using MS Works since 1989 and can tell you there's usually nothing slow about the work, so I think there must be a problem on your computer.  Have you checked against viruses and malware?  I start in Safe Mode and do it.  When you first power up press F8 once per second, and then select Safe Mode when you get the Advanced Boot Menu.
     
    I hope this helps.  Good luck.

  • Update of security for Microsoft Works 9 (KB2431831)

    I had a Windows Update for the latest month - updating security for Microsoft Works 9 (KB2431831).  During the installation of this update attempt, he asked the installation disc.  Microsoft Works has been pre-loaded onto my desktop Dell computer. So, I don't have the installation disc required to remove this update.  I spoke with Microsoft - they tried to erase without the disc without success.  I called Dell who won't work on the question, because it is now out of warranty.  All ideas except to the ignore the windows of each update works? Thank you.

    I know that's probably not useful to most of you, but I had the same problem and do not think that I had any disc that came with my Dell.  I looked around and found that the original package provided with the Dell XPS has a marked disk Microsoft Works 9.  Insert this disc and run the update succeeded.  So maybe check around to see if you have lying around somewhere...

    • O.K.  I get this message on the automatic updates failed.  I've never had Microsoft 9.  Why they continue to send me updates for something automatically that I don't have?  How to stop, as it is disturbing, especially since it deals with security.

    Hi OKIEzb,

    1. What is the KB number update?
    2. You receive an error message and the failure of the update?
    3. You are able to install some other updates on the computer?

    I suggest you cross check if you have Microsoft works installed on the computer, open programs and features in Control Panel.

    Most of the manufacturer computer ship Microsoft works with computers.

    If find you works by Microsoft installed on your computer and you are able to install all other updates of Windows on the computer then I would suggest you contact technical support for Microsoft works.

  • Update for Microsoft Works 9

    I get a notice to update for Microsoft Works 9 on my computer.  Works 9 is installed on my computer and when I bought the computer from Dell.  When I try to download the update, I get an error message that I need to insert the CD/DVD into the computer.  I don't have a CD/DVD, these are not supplied with the computer.  I do not use works, as I have Office 2010 on my computer, but I get the update notice and no matter how many times I try, or even try manually, it does not download and the message that this 'important' update must be downloaded.  I get the following message: error (s) found: Code 8024002D, Windows Update encountered an unknown error.  That means I'm the only one who has this problem?  He tried to update a few months now.

    It is not uncommon to.

    2 UPDATES have consistently failed to install since 12/16/10: update of security for Microsoft Works 9 (KB2431831) and update of security for Microsoft Office System 2007 (KB2288931). I tried to REINSTALL... and CONTINUED on for more than a week now with no result. I don't get the error messages or codes, so I'm not sure what to do!
