Can't use microsoft office anymore

[tman16]

Hi,

I used to be able to use all the programs in word but now when ever i open a program it says:

"microsoft office word has not been installed for the current user"

Before you ask this doesn't just happen on word but all of the programs.

I'am the sole user of this laptop so i don't see how it could have been installed on any other account...?

Any ideas please?

Thanks

Hi tman16,

The usual solution is to create a new administrator account and copy the .REG entry in Current User\........\Office then reopen your old account and paste the .REG file back into Current User\.....\Office.

Before you do that can you tell us if you are using XP or Vista and which version of Office you are using?

Im using Vista Business and Microsoft Office 2007

I tried doing that and it didnt work for me, I can't even open any microsoft products on another account.

I'm not sure if it will help but have a look at Post No #16 on Page 2 of this forum post: -

Or Post #28 on page 3 regarding Hotfix KB951944 causing this problem?
