1154213 2010-11-18 09:45:00 Microsoft Windows Home Edition. Laptop Compaq Presario V6000.Microsoft Calender won't work. Search results only show mswkscal C:\SWSetup\MSWorks\US\Common\Commapp and when I click on that it takes me on to the web and asks if I want to download MSWKscal.wcd now I am stuck. I want to be able to restore the works calender already on the laptop as it contains all diary appointments is this possible please dianne pierce (13385)
1154214 2010-11-18 09:48:00 Try system restore PENTIUM (426)
1154215 2010-11-18 09:54:00 Yes have done that. Also can you tell me when you use windows restore and say for example take it back to 8 November does it leave all documents after that date intact? I understood that system restore only deletes any alterations to the sytem after 8 November but doesn't touch any documents prepared after that date - is this correct. What else can I try to correct the problem? dianne pierce (13385)
1154216 2010-11-18 09:56:00 The documents will remain. Snorkbox (15764)
1154217 2010-11-18 10:08:00 Thanks snorkbox now how can I repair calender. Calender will not open . When I click onto it an error comes up saying works cannot access one or more files it needs to run Calender. The files may have been renamed deleted or moved. Try reinstalling works. I have located mwswkscal.wcd as I renamed it mswkscal.ndb. Found that in C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq User\Recent. Can I restore my appoinments dianne pierce (13385)
1154218 2010-11-18 10:12:00 Have you got an up to date backup?

I will investigate where the appointments are actually stored as I have Works8 on this PC. Do not reinstall just yet. :-)

1154219 2010-11-18 10:22:00 Back up the original mswkscal.wcd file.

To do this, follow these steps:

a. Click Start, click Search, and then click All files and folders.

b. In the All or part of the file name box, type mswkscal.wcd, and then
click Search.

Note The default location of the mswkscal.wcd file is the following folder:
Drive:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Works

c. Copy the found mswkscal.wcd file to the desktop to create a backup of
the mswkscal.wcd file.

If the mswkscal.wcd file is missing or corrupt then I hope you have a backup. Try the above and get back here with the result of the search.

1154222 2010-11-18 10:36:00 Search results only bring up mswkscal with the internet explorer symbol beside it. (I previously renamed the file to mswkscal.ndb in an attempt to try and open it (suggestion fromn the web) Now when I click on it in the search results it takes me to the web and asks if I want to open or save the file mswkscal.wcd file type wcd_auto-file,184kb dianne pierce (13385)
