I have Microsoft Works suite 2005 and it came with Microsoft word 2002 but when I try to install just word it won't work this is what comes up when I install it and try to use it



The works task launcher cannot access the task you selected. Files needed to start program may be missing, corrupted, or may have been deleted. To restore or replace the files, reinstall the program, and then try starting the program again.


Is there something missing?? Do I need something else than word??

Please I need help!!

Works is an integrated suite. I don't believe you can install parts of it like you can with Office.

I don't understand what do you mean by "Works is an integrated suite"??


I'm sorry but I'm new to all this!

Thanks for all your help!

It means that Works is really one program, unlike Office.

So what do I need?? In order for it too work? Do I buy office? And what is office?

By the way is Microsoft Works suite 2005 any good?


And thank you so much for your help!! Its been very helpful!!

Just install the whole Works suite.

Everything from the works suite 2005 software?? I already did but it didn't work!


Thanks again for all your help!

What happened when you did that?

I install all the cds that it came in and the same thing came up

I ask the person who I brought it from what do I need for it too work they said

A Microsoft windows operating system IE XP, media center, basic
Windows. What is that??


Thanks again! For all your help!

What version of Windows are you trying to run this on?

Window Xp for home use from dell

Open Office is a competing product to Microsoft Office. Its compatible with MS Office's file formats but its not Office or Word.
