Hi Rich:
I think you have recovered the application directory but not the user
registry. The application therefore "hasn't" been installed and the only
way around that is to either recover the registry or re-install.
*I* would not recover the registry even if I could: it nearly always means
trouble with that computer for ever more.
The other possibility is that the user ID you are logging on with is not the
Administrator. Login as Administrator and see if Word works then. If it
does, elevate your normal user id to Administrator, then log off (you must
not switch users with Administrator logged in) and start Word from your
normal user ID. It should start and install itself this time.
Then log out and go back to Administrator and put your user id back to
normal.
Cheers

Not normally a problem, except my MS CD is in a box somewhere among 100
other boxes. How do I get the program to recognize me, now that I am noted as
a different user and can no longer find my old user name (I had to do a
recovery)?
