When I went to look up the Word as my application by default, it is not found. Excel, Powerpoint and Entourage were all there. So, I went to my office... See the word icon and then click on it. When I click on it, a question mark appears above him, and it does not open. It's as if the word has been removed from my computer. I read support a few sites that I Googled, and one said to drag the question mark on the icon and then turn it back on.

  • "Adobe Acrobat DC has stopped working" shortly after I open the program without doing anything

    Recently I bought Adobe Acrobat DC and installed on my machine. However, it's very weird: whenever I open the program, just in a few seconds a Windows System Message will appear "Adobe Acrobat DC has stopped working".

    I tried to uninstall and install all programs PDF on my PC several times (including your Acrobat & reader DC as well as other like Foxit Reader PDF viewers), but the problem persists.

    I also tried the "repair install" under the two menu 'Help' so that in the Control Panel, but did not work as well.

    Could I get a response? Don't want to lose my subscription each month.

    My PC is Windows 7 Service Pack 1. It is 64-bit.

    Hi Omegaman22,

    Try this: -.

    1. do you have the preview pane enabled in file Explorer? If so, you can temporarily disable it to see if the problem goes away? On Windows 8, in Explorer, go to the view tab, and if you press the button "Preview Pane", UN-press it. On Windows 7, upwards to the right (to the left of the help icon) there is a button "show preview pane." UN-press it.

    2. ensure that the following directories exist on your machine. If this isn't the case, please create them:

    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Adobe\Acrobat\DC\ToolsSearchCacheAcro

    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Adobe\Acrobat\DC\ToolsSearchCacheRdr

    Replace USERNAME with your username.

  • Microsoft Explorer has stopped working

    I have Vista premium 64 bit which worked well for 8 months.  Now, I'm getting Microsoft Explorer has stopped working suite by Microsoft Explorer restarts.  In this case problably 10 to 15 times a day when I try to perform a task that requires exploring.   In addition, IE explore has the same problem (I was using IE7 32 bit until he leaves then I installed IE8 - worked for 3 days of work, then he started too fault, I tried the 32-bit versions and 64-bit - same problem).  Firefox works fine!  I tried to do a restore, but crashes with a blue screen of death each time.  I have a Dell 430 quad-processor with 8 GB of ram.  Any suggestions that I have not already tried another that reformat and reinstall the OS?

    Hello

    IE and Explorer are closely related, so things that affect one affect both.

    Try these and it can also be a good idea to update your main drivers later. The General corruption can also play a
    role in this issue. And even the TCP/IP stack might need to be refreshed.

    What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you ALREADY had on this
    machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).

    If no joy there's something blocking perhaps.

    Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - IE with no Addons - what works best?

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - click on reset all default areas - apply / OK

    Close and restart IE or IE with no addons

    not better?

    IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, it is no longer necessary but Java always install
    "(and it causes problems - you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again)." Search for other possible problems.

    Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right. Permit
    are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program to ask about it here.

    Could be that a BHO - BHOremover - free - standalone program, needs no installation, download and run - not all
    are bad, but some can cause your question (toolbars are BHO).

  • Microsoft Intellipoint has stopped working

    Since September 30, when I installed Windows Live Essentials 2010 and some Windows updates, on each connection I get at least two boxes of message saying "Microsoft Intellipoint has stopped working". I have a 1000 keyboard Microsoft Wireless and a Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 2000.

    Hello

    IntelliPoint is a program widely used, so I suspect either Windows Live Essentials or a
    Update is the cause of the problem. Other possible causes are the antivirus/antispyware/security
    programs and other startups.

    Maybe the troubleshooting updates will help you.

    Control Panel - Windows Updates - down left - click on installed updates - the dates that they were
    installed is there. You can uninstall the after another or do 1/2, then the other 1/2.

    Its possible that more than 1 day caused the question and its also possible that NO update has been
