Is your PC an HP/Compaq by any chance? If so there have been some Microsoft updates which weren't compatible.\n\nHere is a resolution of a similar problem which was posed on a list I belong to:\n\n\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/918165\n\nIn this link is resolution that is also shown below;\n\nRESOLUTION\n. Hewlett-Packard's Share-to-Web software. The MS06-015 (908531)\n(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms06-015.mspx) security update includes a "white list"; VERCLSID.EXE will not scan any extension that appears on this list. Adding the HP shell extension corrects the problem. Manually edit the registry:\n\n1. Log on to the computer with an account with administrator privileges. \n2. Click the Start button and then click Run. \n3. Type Regedit and then click OK. \n4. Navigate to\nHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE&#92;SOFTWARE&#92;Microsoft&#92;Windows&#92;CurrentVersion&#92;Shell\nExtensions&#92;Cached\n5. Right-click "Cached", point to New, click "DWORD Value", and then enter:\n{A4DF5659-0801-4A60-9607-1C48695EFDA9}\n{000214E6-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} 0x401\n \n6. Set the Data of this value to 1\n7. Close the Registry Editor. \n8. Use Task Manager to end the Verclsid.exe process or restart the computer.\n\n\nNote: If other third-party COM controls or shell extensions are determined\nto cause this issue, the same method must be used to add the appropriate\nshell extension. \n\n. VERCLSID.EXE process flagged by Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall. Kerio\nPersonal Firewall Users can configure Kerio to allow VERCLSID.EXE to execute\nwithout prompting. \n\nIt has not been determined if there are other third-party COM controls or\nshell extensions that may also cause this problem. If the steps above do not\nresolve your issue, contact Microsoft Product Support Services.

If the word edition that you have is not a trial, then it is a program error. Try unistalling word and reinstalling it. That should work.

I would start by making sure your system is up to date.  Go to http://update.microsoft.com

The easiest way I found was to system restore to the day before downloading the new version. Hope this helps.

I have Microsoft office XP on my PC. And I have installed Microsoft Project manager 2003. It's working any problem.

1) Try Start, Configuration, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs\n\n\n2) If it fails, try the Windows install cleanup utility:\n\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;290301

no, it should update itself without the need of un-installation.\n\nIf you begin experiencing problems, though, you'll need to uninstall it and re-install.\n\nI've seen issues when jumping two or three generations ahead, like going from office 97 to office 2003.  In that case, you should uninstall.  But if you're just going from office xp to office 2003, then it won't be a problem.

I'd suggest ensure your "Windows Update" has been run and up to date.\nAlso re ActiveX, try yourself on here: http://pcpitstop.com/testax.asp\n\nThen if still problems, tell us your operating system (XP?, W98?) and the version of MSN (note, NOT msM) you're using.

Uninstall or reinstall the software.\nThere is no simple way to fix this software.

I know whats the problem.\n\nYour file extentions are not properly registered in teh system registry. This is not something a normal person should attempt to fix - even if they know how.\n\nI know roughly how to do it but I wouldn't try either - I would simply advise to reinstall word and excel instead and let the installer reset the registry keys.\n\nJ

A lot of office components now are "Install on demand" in the setup program by default. When you install office you need to go through the selections and select all to install to the hard drive. That should solve the problem.

Are you downloading from the 'Windows Update' link, in the Start Menu. I did without any problems.
