Help!

I downloaded a registry cleaner to clean out my registry of unused entries and get rid of old files, nut now I can't run MS word or MS excel or anyother MS office program Is there any place I can get MS Word and Excel from an internet download? any other suggestion would be helpful.

there is no legal way to get MS office for free (and CFC has zero tolerance towards piracy)... unless you are college student, but then you have already paid via tuition.

It sounds like the registry cleaner cleaned out entries that ms applications require. What error message do they show when you try to start them?

And if you're running xp, try a system restore to before you cleaned the registry, see if that fixes it.

It begins with a window that says "installing microsoft word application"

from their it asks me to put in a MS office disk (wich I don't have)

I click ok and it gives me error message:"this application not installed for current user"


I was hoping to use system restore as a last resort...

Could you check out the MS office registry entries on another computer and copy them in to yours?

since you can't use MS word, try using Wordpad, which is much worse/

This is bad, system restore didn't work.

It tells me I need a MS Office CD to reinstall the featured application, but I never had a disc
