Word in XP no longer loads

[John1397]

I was trying to load microsoft word and it no longer loads all I get is what appears to be wowexec and winword set back in task manager. I use XP and already did the restore point back to the point where word still worked and this did not help probably will have to replace all the word operating files do you not think? I should mention the excel part still works.

Is this OfficeXP edition.... it should have a repair feature. This may require the original disc's to repair. I have used the repair for Excel and Outlook before but not Word.

If you no longer have the installation media for Word you could use Open Office or Libre Office as a free office solution which supports MSOffice documents.

I tried setup but got message I ended up just changing winword.opt now it works.
