Office XP Word problem Help
I am using Windows 10 which has run OK my old XP Office Word program but due to very recent updates from MS, Avast and Malwarebytes it is not able to launch just presents its small loading window with the computer unable to go further.
I will click to make it give the wait or close option, I close it and next time will offer its safe mode, upon selection get a limited version program which becomes more active when it opens a previous letter, but some functions are greyed out. So I figure some security issue has reacted, but I am unsure what and where. Tried the repair cycle and installed it several times no luck. Thank you for any help |

Got it Fixed (though have to retrain it)
Not winning being nice it seems.........
Got down to Nasty....... Downloaded the XP Office upgrade pack to be ready (still around). Uninstalled Avast (antivirus), Malwarebytes, MS Office. Swept through with my cleaner to remove traces of MS Office from all places including the registry. Rebooted, removed my laptops Wi-Fi (because its one of those electronic switches that can overide if Windows has it in mind). Installed MS Office then the upgrade pack, (Yay its working!!) installed Avast then Malwarebytes shut the system down. Rebooted (lot of muttering from Windows), all working again now I have to retrain Word to be UK with A4 paper etc etc but thats OK. So do not give up......... David |

Whew, one heck of a lot of work eh? Great to hear you figured out how to do it. Be careful though, it has known vulnerabilities and has not received any security updates in quite some time.
