Office 2003 / Works 8 conflict
Was told this was the right place to ask, so here goes.
There seems to be a problem I've been aware of for a few years. When I install Works first, and THEN Office, everything works fine. If I install Office FIRST, THEN Works........ the task launcher, and a couple other minor features in Works, don't function. I had installed Works 7 and Office 2003, and everything was groovy because I installed them in the right order.... Works, THEN Office. Well, I just upgraded to Works 8, and being Office was already on my machine, the task launcher in Works 8 will not run. I have read of conflicts between the versions of Word that both programs use, but do not know if this the issue I'm having or not. I have uninstalled both Office, and Works, then reinstalled them in proper order..... but still no go. Have tried "Repair" function of each....no go. Tried reaming all info I could find pertaining to both Office and Works in the registry, then reinstalling...no go. I know I can solve this by doing a clean install of Windows, and reinstalling the programs in correct order (have done it in the past)........ but I don't want to... I have over 150 Gigs on my machine that I would hate to re install just now. I found the same "order thang" to be true with Office XP, and Works 7. Anybody here know how to restore the task launcher function of Works without doing a complete start over? Any tips, suggestions, help will be appreciated and tried. Thanx- §kullywag©- |
