Can't Open Applications
I recently got hit by a virus and had to reformat my C:
drive, loosing all the information. I had installed Office XP on a different partition of my hard drive that I didn't wipe clean. Now when I try to open the applications it give me the error "The Operating system is not presently configured to run this application". How can I fix this problem? |

Can't Open Applications
You're going to have to reinstall Office XP. Unfortunately, during
installation, a number of settings are stored in the system registry -- which in most cases is on C:. So, even though Office XP is still intact, its settings aren't. So, as far as your new installation of Windows is concerned, Office XP is not yet installed. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along. http://www.herbtyson.com "Chris" wrote in message ...
