Re: can not start media player, word, excel, outlook ... anymore.

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Are you sure you didn't add a rule to your firewall that is causing
the problem? It's possible you blocked a file that is shared by these
applications and it preventing them from running correctly.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.
