Received Office Home and Student as a Christmas gift.
The install progressed without any problems.
But none of the applications (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, OneNote) wiil open.
That is, start -> all programs -> microsoft office -> Word -> "click" starts
the little arrow on the desktop. After perhaps 5 seconds, the arrow
disappears.
I have been through this process 3 or 4 times with the same result (using
'add/remove programs' to remove the previous install each time).
Went to the Microsoft website and downloaded the free 60-day trial of Office
2007. That behaves exactly as the purchased cd. Programs do not function
(eliminates faulty media as a cause I think).
My system has capability that exceeds those listed on the package. Windows
XP has the latest (automatic) updates and SP.
One more thing: Prior to Feb, 2007 I was using Office 2000. Had a virus
attack then - XP was reinstalled. From that point, Office 2000 was unusable
- opening an application caused the error "This program must be installed to
run ...". Haven't been able to get that one fixed. Could that relate to the
problem with Office 2007?
Thanks for any help!
