I have a similar problem that started within the last week or two. I
have a Dell computer from Nov. 2001 running Windows XP. When I try to
access Word, Excel & Outlook, I get the message: "MS Word has not
been installed for the current user. Please run setup to install the
application".
Word was installed Nov 14/01 and I don't have a backup. Did one of
Windows automatic updates do this and if so, does anyone know which
one?
Would appreciate any ideas.
I'm not very computer literate.

Your computer literacy is apparent. It's pretty obvious Word is installed
for an account other than the one you're using. Try the other account and
it sounds like it'll work. Or, copy the relevant settings from that account
to yours. You'll need admin privelieges.
Further, since you don't have the Word CD apparently, you're probalby
running a pirated version of the software. You need to purchase it.

Two things happened simultaneously. One can't access my folders.
Example...I double click on a WORD file to open and a message comes
up saying "another user has this file open do you want to make a
copy?". If you say yes, it will show you the file but you cant save
it even under a new file name. It will tell you its "read only file".
The second thing is it appears that somehow an adminstrator account
is now controlling settings etc. I can't look or change user info.
etc. 2 key pieces of information. I am working on a laptop which is
not hooked up to a network and I had prior access to administrator
controls.
Any ideas? I have tried just about everything.
