Guest Nanny Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Hi PC model HP compaq DC7700sff, 1GB RAM, 2.0Ghz CPU, 40GB HDD I am using windows XP pro SP2. I have a problem in that when I attempt to run'open and repair' on a word document the option is not listed in the drop down box. The other features "open as read only, and open as copy" are there. I imagine its a windows explorer issue. If anyone has a quick fix or any suggestions I would be grateful. I plan to do a repair XP install at a later date and maybe run SFC/Scannow with a copy of XP sp2. Cheers

Guest Nanny Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Re: Cannot see 'open and repair' option in windows explorer Try it yourself, its well documented by microsoft. Its a tool built into windows explorer to aid document or spreadsheet recovery. I have a whole department of PCs which have the feature available when i open a document and try and use the tool. This is not to be confused with microsoft office's 'detect and repair'.
