It makes all the noises but won't open and I don't know what happened or what I can do to make it work. It has worked fine until now.

maybe it's haunted......no that's not it. check the ribbon cable and make sure it didn't come loose if that doesn't help, try getting a can of compressed air and with the tray open blow the air into the cd rom. if that doesn't help, you may have to replace it.

sounds like you broke your mainboard.   not good, but a new mainboard isn't that expensive.

Check device mgr - if all are sound devices are working properly - go to start>control panel>admin tools>services - scroll down to Windows audio. Make sure it is set to Automatic and all dependant programs are enabled.\n\nUnder the recovery tab select "restart service" for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd failures.\n\nWorked for me....

restart the computer and see if you can open it. if it doesnt the only thing i can think of is uninstalling office and install it again.

you need to give more information such as...\n\n1. did you get an error when it closed?\n2. what happens just before the error occurs?\n3. does windows freeze?

Few things you can do.  Try to enter Win XP in safe mode then try to find out and fix the problem there.  Or re-load Windows Xp if you don't know how to do this then bring it somewhere and pay for it to be fixed.

It would have helped if you had put down the make of the computer. They open up in various ways. If it is new, why not go to the shop where you bought the parts and ask them, or at least give them a call.

Save it on the desktop n then open it without choosing a program, if it doesn't play then maybe there is something wrong with it!

Turn up the volume. If that doesn't work call Apple and get a replacement. Or better yet, return it and get a Creative Zen player.
