Hi,

I've been using word easily for a long time now - just recently though every
time I have tried to open Word I get no further than the initial Windows Word
logo with registration details.

When I look in the task manager there is no program running and Word never
opens up. I have run all the possible upgrades that I can, corrected
everything that the websites tell me to do...nothing works. I am completely
unable to open my Word documents in Word. I can still access the files via
other programmes such as Notepad.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated as it is very frustrating
