MS Office installs program each time

spangles · 01-07-2006, 04:44 AM

Please help!!!

Every time I open up a document in office (word, excell) It shows that it installs the program each time and takes forever. I have tried to reload the software but it does not fix the problem. Another problem I found about the same time this started was I am unable to do a system restore.

Hi spangles

Have you tried a Detect and Repair? You'll need your Office CD or else each application has it's own Repair function within the Help menu. This verifies the installation and repairs missing files and registry settings.

You may need to to Repair your Windows installation if the system restore is not working. See here for a guide

I did try a detect and repair and it sent me to an area on the internet that said my MS Office program is not supported due to my purchasing it through my work of something like that.

Have a look in Control Panel > Add orRemove Programmes - it will usually state what version of Office is installed. You may have to re-install completely as long as you have the CD.
