Why can't I open my Word 2002 program anymore?

[debie]

I desperately need help with this one. I have tried everything, from
repairing from the add/remove programs in the control panel to uninstalling
and reinstalling. I cannot even open programs I created prior to this
problem. These are some of the things that happen. If I try to open a
document that was created in Word 2002 then it goes through the motions and
looks like it is opening and I can see the document, but then the EULA
agreement comes up and I click accept then the windows installer box pops up
and acts like it is installing-then it just disappers!
When I try to repair I get an error 1919. error configuring ODBC date
source. I did try the repair for this in MS and that gave another error MDAC
2.8 incompatable with this version of windows. I have thought of just buying
another version of Word, but I think it may have the same problems, because I
did have Corel Word and removed it and I noticed in MS that this could be a
problem, Sub-Keys missing from Registry. If anyone knows how I can fix that,
Please do let me know!

Thanks, sorry for the long post.

Hi Debie -

Although I sympathize with your situation I'm afraid you have landed in the
newsgroup for Mac Word. Since your problems may also involve the Windows OS
as well as PC Office/Word I believe you'll get faster response here:

http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.pu
blic.word.application.errors&lang=en&cr=US

If the link doesn't work when you click it, copy & paste into the browser's
address field. When you post to the group make sure you are clear on the
distinction between a 'program' and a 'file', be as accurate & specific as
you can, & mention the version of Windows as well as Office/Word.

Good Luck |:>)

His Link broke into two pieces you'll have to put them together.

I'll give it a try and see if I can make it whole:

If it's "fixed", don't "break it"!
