Still no luck! I've gone through everything on that troubleshooting page with no success - moved everything in the startup folder and it still wouldn't open. Searched for ~*.doc/dot documents and not found any to delete, tried opening it through run. I've tried open Word through all programmes and by trying to open a file - neither work. I'm assuming it's not a problem with the files being 2003 and trying to open in 2007 as I was having the same problem when I still had 2003 - that's why I installed 2007! It won't even open with a blank page...the word start up picture comes up then the error message straight away. It won't even open in safe mode. I wonder if there are any additional installation files that might be corrupt but I have no idea where/what they might be!

My word is legit yeah. Office 2007 wasn't originally installed on this computer, 2003 was. I installed it when Word 2003 wouldn't open, thinking it might fix the problem, but it didn't! I've tried Office diagnostics several times with no luck. Also tried system restore and haven't got anywhere with that either! I'm totally clueless about what else I can try.

Hi, I'm having trouble getting Word to open. I originally had Office 2003 installed and out of nowhere Word stopped opening my documents. I tried repairing it with no success so eventually installed Office 2007. Still, every other programme will open except Word! I've updated my Works Suite, tried repairing the programme several times with no success, checked Windows update to see if anything linked to Word was out of date and looked everywhere on the Microsoft Support site for a solution. Word's the only programme I use so it's starting to cause some problems not being able to get onto it! Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated!
