Re: Word 2007 not installing correctly

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

Repairing the program should fix the registry entries that are causing the
problems relating to file association. The program is almost certainly not
'broken' - it is the file association in the registry that is incomplete.
First see how to re-register Word when problems crop up opening files
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/ReRegisterWord.htm and if that doesn't
fix it select a document in Windows Explorer, right click and choose Open
with...

From the ensuing dialog select Word (winword.exe) and check the box to
always open with this application.

Ms. Blom,

I did that many times. I didn't find any problems. Besides I wouldn't
trust it anyway. Why would a broken program fix or find another
broken program, since the suite was installed together. (Suite Office
Pro 2007)

I have vista 32bit and Word 2007
When I install word:
1. the icon/short cut in the desktop>right click>New>Word Document
is not there.
2. Then the regular Word Icons (in folders, on the desktop) don't
look right.
3. Then when I try to open a word document by clicking it's icon an
error message pops up and saying, that the file path was wrong and
gave the file path. It opens just a blank document where in I have
to go to open files and search for and open the document I want
within the word document itself.

I have reinstalled many times and I get the exact same 3 things. I
cleaned my registry and uninstalled and turned off ALL my
antivirals software.

What do I do to fix this? Thank you.
