1270112 2012-04-15 03:49:00 I have just installed Office 10 on my Vista computer and when I try to use Word Excel or any other program on office I get this message pop up.

C:\Program Files \Microsoft Office\Office14\WINWORD.EXE
With Excel SAME................................ \Excel.EXE

This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the SET Associations Control panel.

I've been into Control Panel ( Set Associations) and I'm lost " I'm not a computer wizz!!!"

Any help would be great.

Cheers

1270113 2012-04-15 03:59:00 Do any programs (besides office programs) run if you double click on them?? If they dont it sounds like something is borked somewhere. What version of windows is installed? Was a previous version of office installed?? Speedy Gonzales (78)

1270117 2012-04-15 07:11:00 For some reason it looks like the file associations are screwed up, try resetting them - Described how here (www.techrepublic.com)

Have you actually set them correctly.

Simple way to tell, right click a word document, open with, select MS Word - should open.

1270120 2012-04-17 08:51:00 Thanks for trying to help. Uninstall it. Disable UAC, then reinstall it again. Still doing the same thing. Might go back to office 2003. mick (6883)
1270121 2012-04-18 10:17:00 Is your Windows 32-bit or 64-bit based? If it is the latter, the correct pathway could be "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\WINWORD.EXE"? Renmoo (66)
