Solved: Microsoft word will not open... - Page 7

Yes, you need the Windows CD.

What about the Registry settings for the .exe files?
That list is not as long.

I saw .exe there but there wasn't anything in there like it didn't expand... I'll have to take a look again later and post what I see.

Did you try the import of the zip extension fix in post 69?

Also, let's try this.

I'm going to attach the ExeFix as a .txt file (because we can't attach .reg files and you can't open .zip files).

Right-click the attachment and select "Save Target As" and save it to your desktop. Now right-click the file on your desktop and select "rename" and change the file extension from .txt to .reg. You will get a prompt saying the file may be unusable if you do that but go ahead with it anyway. Once the file extension shows as .reg, double click the file and see if you can get it to merge with the registry.

I couldn't do what you said in post 69 because Internet Explorer wasn't opening... safe mode with networking was the only way I was able to get the internet to work but now it's not working. I can try it again later when I get home. And then I'll try what you just posted.

OK, that's fine.

Ahynes · 07-Oct-2008, 06:01 PM **#96**

Internet Explorer won't open in Safe mode with networking... It's flashing and then disappearing.

**Cookiegal** · 07-Oct-2008, 06:22 PM **#97**

Can you download it to another computer to a floppy or CD and then run it on the sick computer?

Ahynes · 07-Oct-2008, 06:44 PM **#98**

I tried that before and it didn't open, because My Computer won't open.

**Cookiegal** · 08:06 PM

Do you have another browser like Firefox?

Ahynes · 08-Oct-2008, 03:22 PM **#100**

I have Safari... but I can't open it, nothing happens when I click on it.

**Cookiegal** · 09-Oct-2008, 09:10 PM **#101**

What if you click the exe for IE or safari from within the program folder and not using the shortcut? Will it open then?

Ahynes · 09-Oct-2008, 10:51 PM **#102**

I don't think that will work but I can try and I'll post back.

Ahynes · 10-Oct-2008, 10:15 PM **#104**

That didn't work. Do you think I should just buy the Cd to reload windows xp? Because my computer doesn't seem fixable lol.

**EAFiedler** · 10-Oct-2008, 11:16 PM **#105**

Have you considered manually editing the Registry?

If that fails, then a Windows CD would be a good investment.

Do you have a Dell or another manufactured computer that came with Windows already installed?
If so, have you checked to see about the availability of recovery disks?
