Word is no longer in my programs after several reboot this morning

original title: Word is no longer listed in my programs after several reboot this morning - SEE Add ' l COMMENT ADDED at the END of

I typed in the search box and the open program winword, but now how do I add it to my startup (and to see it reported once more as an active program)?

My PC is Windows XP - I think that it's the home edition.  Word 2003.   I started my computer this morning after having been turned off during the weekend and it was very slow.  Safely, I rebooted twice but no difference - then did two tough stops.  Norton 360 (no problem popped up) and restarted the computer.  Everything worked fine until I went to start a new Word document.

I tried to do a system restore but it says that no changes have been made to my computer.  But I know that's not true!

Help!

MORE: I have now called Microsoft Word Viewer, I've never seen before.  Thanks again.

Word Viewer is (probably) the application from Microsoft which allows you to view documents created with newer versions of Word (Word 2007 and Word 2010).  In general, they are saved as files instead of.doc, *.docx files.

You can create a shortcut on the desktop to the Word as follows:

  • Right click on a box empty the desktop and select new > shortcut
  • Click the Browse button and locate winword.exe, which for Word 2003, should be in
  • C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11
  • Click next
  • In the 'Name' box, replace Winword.exe with Word (or whatever you like)
  • Click on finish

If you also want an entry in the start menu > all programs list.

  • Click the Start button, and then select open all users
  • Double-click the "Programs" folder
  • Right-click and drag the shortcut on the desktop that you created in the folder open ' programs' and select 'Copy here' in the context menu

  • Short cut Thunderbird disappeared after an update this morning after a windiw stated that this shortcut is not found. I can't find where is the executable file. It

    This morning Thunderbird updated itself and a window pops up saying shortcut to thunderbird does not exist. After that I can't find where it is so that I can run.

    Thank you very much. Yes, the problem was exactly the same. Thunderbird executable disappeared after an update. I reinstalled it simply by downloading the configuration file. All my configurations and emails and folders, etc were in place. A great feeling to not lose everything. Again, thank you for your kind reply.

  • uninstalled applications, received message: Please wait until the current program has finished uninstalling or one. After several reboots, still same message.

    Original title: 2 numbers do not know if they are related

    I have 2 questions and I don't know if they are related. Several days ago I was doing some cleaning and uninstalling programs to free up space. I don't know what I started with, but it seemed to go ok. However, after all that I've tried to uninstall gave me the message: Please wait until the current program has finished uninstalling or one. I rebooted the computer more than once during this period, but it still says that.

    Then my internet explore has stopped working just for 2 or 3 days. I've been using google chrome to access things, but it is rather slow.
    I ran repeated virus and malware scans my norton security and the microsoft Web site, and all said I am clean.

    Yes, it's windows 7 I appreciate the suggestions, but the problem was that he wouldn't LET me not uninstall anything. He gave me the waiting message please do anything, and he's not missing if I stopped and restarted. Finally, I gave up. I saved my files to my external hardrive and just do a full recovery of the computer. He solved the problem of installed programs and the internet problem explore both, although I hoped it would avoid going that drastic.

  • Can not reinstall the CC program after uninstalling (in this case, bridge)

    I uninstalled bridge CC on the advice of a cat Adobe tech support person. (I have a screen shot of the cat).

    Now, I can't reinstall bridge CC. Adobe Application Manager says he is installed and does not offer the ability to reinstall. Grrr.

    Another that wishing for a box where I have complete control, what can I do?

    ~ Jane

    Hi Jeff,

    After 3-4 days, the other apps has had an update. After the update, all of a sudden I could install bridge CC. Go figure. But it's working now.

    Uninstall and reinstall is not obvious or easy with Creative cloud, and I was hoping for the boxed version where I had control over things like this unstead of spending hours doing Google searches and chatting with technical support. I had not activated the software or even he launched before uninstalling.

    As I said, it works now. But it must be an easier process!

  • With the help of v22.0 cannot apply update - will not even after several reboots - advice?

    Hello

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    Please report back to see if this helped you!

    Thank you.

  • Brand new EA4500 - no strip of 5 GHz after several reboots?

    Hello

    I set up my new EA4500 last night and set up the bands 5 GHz and 2.4 Ghz with separate SSID (as recommended). While I can see the 2.4 Ghz band with all my devices, I don't see the band 5 GHz with any of them.

    I followed the advice given (including the display settings) on the EA4500 FAQ:

    Title: Customization and connection to the 5 GHz band wireless on a Linksys Wireless-N Router
    Article ID: 21466

    The references to the article that "If your wireless 5 GHz network is not listed, try to unplug the power cord from your router and then reconnect it after 10 seconds."

    Do that * many * times and still nothing. I have a capable dual-band adapter Netgear RangeMax WNDA3100 Dual Band Wireless-N adapter, I know works on 5 GHz (because I had to work on my old WDNR3700v1 dual-band). Similarly, I have PC seated less than 20 feet away who have previously been able to see the band 5 GHz on my old router, but are now unable to see it on the EA4500.

    Is this a known issue? There is no update available firmware, so I am at a loss. Hate to have to return after a day...

    Thank you
    -Bn

    Try to configure a unique SSID on the 5 GHz, without wire - only band. no security, choose a lower channel (36-48). Make sure that the SSID broadcast is turned on.

    If you still don't see not the band 5 GHz SSID on any of your devices Band 5 GHz, I would say that the EA4500 is faulty...

    Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

    If you use internet explore then try optimizing and check for the issue.

    Usually we recommend that you use the latest version because it would include all later versions and patches for it. Uninstall the old version would not cause any problem.
    You can also try to contact the manufacturer for assistance.
