I recently had to complete a complete re-install of Windows on my computer following a hard drive failure. I'm using exactly the same version of such as was on the previous hard drive, and have completed all the necessary Windows Updates in the meantime.
I've been able to recover in an undamaged state virtually all My Documents from the old hard drive, using EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, that is, photographs, Word doc's, etc.
I've tried to install Microsoft Office, again using exactly the same discs and version as with the old hard drive, that is, Office 2000 (sufficient for my purposes), but I seem to be having an issue - possibly file association - thus this posting.
I cannot seem to open the recovered doc's - created with the same version of Office - with Microsoft Word, which only open with WordPad, and appear with masses of gobbledygook. Similarly, when I prepare a new Word document, it initially appears ok on the screen until I close and save it. On trying to re-open the document, again it will only open with WordPad, and again with masses of gobbledygook.
I've tried un-installing Office and re-installing to no avail. When I've tried to employ the relevant compatibility pack it says it doesn't recognise the required version of Office as being on the computer.
I've also attempted, using the 'Associate File Type ... with a Specific Programme' function from the Control Panel, to change the programme type associated with .doc documents from Word Pad to Word, but can't identify Word as an option to change it to, even though I've installed it on the computer.
What is peculiar, as I've said, is it's the same versions of Windows and Office that I used in the build on the last hard drive with no issues.
Many thanks in anticipation of any advice on this one...
Andy
