1335021 2013-04-02 01:04:00 Had Microsoft Office Starter until this morning.
when they click on Word or Excel
they get an "request" "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer? Microsoft Office Client Virtualization Handler.
If no is chosen - the program won't open

If choose yes: get Microsoft Word Starter 2010 can not be opened. Try again or repair the product in Control panel.

Opened Control Panel, Programs, but there was no "repair" functionality associated with Microsoft Office Starter 2010.

any suggestions or insights as to why Office Started has decided not to work & what part Microsoft Office Client Virtualization Handler has to play in it.

1335022 2013-04-02 01:23:00 click change in the control panel, then it should let you do a repair nmercer (3899)
1335023 2013-04-02 01:37:00 Thanks nmercer!

BUT, now every time I try to open Word or Excel get an "request" "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer? Microsoft Office Client Visualization Handler.

Which if I say yes it does open -
is there a way to stop the "request" every time?

1335024 2013-04-02 01:39:00 You could try right-click Word or Excel and choose Run as Administrator and then say Yes to the question. CYaBro (73)
1335025 2013-04-02 01:41:00 Had that happen plenty of times with customers PC's / Office starter - best solution that does work 100% uninstall Starter and reinstall it.

Mind you I got the OPK being a MS partner so its easy to do that.

1335026 2013-04-02 02:09:00 The right click run as admin works but still comes up with the "request"\

as far as a reinstall - don't have that ability - thank you though.

1335027 2013-04-02 02:24:00 You "may" be able to reinstall it from its own installation file, never done it, so no idea if it will work or not, if you try, I'd clone the drive as is first, just in case. The files are hidden, but under C:\Program Data\Microsoft\OEMOffice14 wainuitech (129)
1335028 2013-04-02 02:29:00 cheers wainuitech will give it a try NZHawk (4093)
