Hi, me again with another IT conundrum :roll: :lol:
I've tried to open MS Word today only to have a 'Microsoft Installer' window pop up which attempts to install MS word. It gets halfway through the setup then stops and asks for the installation disc for MS Office Professional.
When the installation aborts, I'm told that Office is unavailable for the current user. :?
I've tried all the other Office programmes (Powerpoint, Front page, Excel, acces, Outlook) all with the same result.
I installed this version (can't remember which one it is ) 3yrs ago and it's run fine. I last used Word a week ago with no probs. Annoyingly, I can't find the installation disc any more.
Not sure if it's related, but a few days ago, my broadband application was deleted from the system for some reason. I used System restore to go back a week and it reappeared. System restore hasn't fixed the Office problem.
I'm running Windows XP and have been getting all the system updates from Microsoft. Could this be a bug or a license issue?
I've emailed Microsoft but I figured I'd try the Hive Mind as well :lol:
Any help, gratefully recieved!
Cheers.
