Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Word are two entirely separate programs and always have been. XP does not have Word "pre-installed." Microsoft Works is also a separate program.

I spent £1700 on a Sony Vaio computer last October - it has preinstalled
Windows XP Home. I uploaded from old hard disk lots of files including WORD
docs. I CANNOT open them, even new ones that are sent me. It looks like MWORD
is not pre-installed. When I try to open a WORD doc two windows
simultaneously flash up -1) preparing to install etc and 2) another box on
top saying "The Command cannot be performed because a dialogue box is
open.Click OK and then close open dialogue boxes to continue". When I close
box everything disappears.What is this all about? Surely XP has Word
pre-installed? Why all this hassle? I cannot open important docs, and can't
convert them to WORKS! Help on this silly problem would be appreciated.
