Sep 12, 2018 - This tip (316) applies to Microsoft Word 97, 2000, 2002, and 2003. I was unable to open downloaded office word documents from my email.
I tried, and couldn't, not in XP mode or in Windows 7 itself. Trying to run Office 2000 Service relase 1a produced an error message that it couldn't complete, referring to a text file that didn't seem to mention an error. It mentioned that IE 8 was installed instead of IE5, but went on from there, so it doesn't seem like that was what was wrong. I tracked down the full package (filename O2ksr1adl.exe) and am currently downloading it.
I'm wondering, though, should Office 2000 programs be run in XP mode or is it OK to run them in Windows 7 (64-bit)? I tried, and couldn't, not in XP mode or in Windows 7 itself.

Thanks for the info. What are you downloading that file for if you already have Service Release 1a? I tried, and couldn't, not in XP mode or in Windows 7 itself.

What are you downloading that file for if you already have Service Release 1a? The file I had was just the downloader. I guess it's not able to connect now since July.I then did a search for the full package and found it here: I did end up getting Word 2000 to run in Win7. Hi there, I have been running a cheat-tweat for as long as I have had Office 2007.
I cannot do without my beloved Shortcut Bar from Office 2000. I install Office 2007 and afterward do a custom install of Office 2000-ONLY the Shortcut Bar, Clippit and Binder. The 2 versions of Office co-exist seamlessly in XP. I will try it out on Win7 next week on my new 64bit machine. If it does not work, I will have to completely alter my computing life-I have 12 bars on the Shortcut Bar, each with a number of appropriate programs. Wish me luck.
I recently installed Microsoft Office on a Windows machine and everything worked fine for a few days, but all of a sudden when I open Word, I get the following error message: Microsoft Word has stopped working It then gives me the option to check online for a solution or to close the program. After this, I could not even open Word anymore! It would simply close down the program. How annoying! Anyway, after doing some research, I finally got the problem fixed. Depending on your situation, the solution may be different.
I will try to post all of them here and hopefully one will work for you. Method 1 – Repair Office 2016/2013/2010/2007 To perform a repair of Office, go to Start, then Control Panel and click on Programs and Features. Click on the Microsoft Office and click Change. Click Repair and then click Continue. For newer versions of Office, you might see Online Repair and Quick Repair. Let the repair finish, which could take a while, and then restart your computer.
If you continue to get the “Word has stopped working” message, then keep reading for more possible solutions! Method 2 – Disable All Add-ins Sometimes an add-in that gets installed automatically by another program (such as Adobe, etc.), might cause Word to crash. In this case, you can start Word in Safe Mode, which does not load any add-ins.
Simply click on Start and then Run or if you’re using Windows 7, just type the following command into the search box: winword.exe /a In Windows 10, press Windows Key + R. Now click on the Office button and click on Word Options. On newer versions of Office, click on File and then Options. Click on Add-Ins and then disable all add-ins and try to load Word again normally. Method 3 – Install Latest Updates If that didn’t work for you either, then you should try to download and install the latest updates for your version of Office. Sometimes it’s a glitch that is fixed when you install the latest patches and fixes.
In Windows 7, you can go to Automatic Updates from the Control Panel and find the latest updates. You can also visit the Office download center and download service packs for Office, etc.: Method 4 – Delete the Word Data Registry Key There is a key in the registry that stores frequently used options in Word. If you delete the key, Word rebuilds it the next time you start Word by using the default settings. You can delete the Word data key by going to the following location in the registry depending on your version of Word:. Word 2002: HKEYCURRENTUSER Software Microsoft Office 10.0 Word Data.
Word 2003: HKEYCURRENTUSER Software Microsoft Office 11.0 Word Data. Word 2007: HKEYCURRENTUSER Software Microsoft Office 12.0 Word Data. Word 2010: HKEYCURRENTUSER Software Microsoft Office 14.0 Word Data.
Word 2013: HKEYCURRENTUSER Software Microsoft Office 15.0 Word. Word 2016: HKEYCURRENTUSER Software Microsoft Office 16.0 Word Simply right click on the Data key and choose Delete. Now restart Word and see if the problem has gone away or not. Method 5 – Remove Older Printer Drivers Oddly enough, this ended up being the cause of my problem. I had an older print driver installed on my Windows machine and once I removed that driver, Word started working without any problems! If you are running Windows 10, you might need to download the latest version that is compatible with that operating system.
You can delete individual printer drivers by going into the registry. Note that simply going to Printers and Faxes and deleting a printer there does not delete the printer driver.
Follow Step 3 in my previous post to remove the printer drivers: Method 6 – Uninstall Recent Software At this point, you have also think about any software or plugins that you may have installed on your computer. Annoyingly, this problem with Word can be caused by a program that is completely unrelated to Word! Did you recently install some new hardware? A printer, scanner, label machine, web cam, tablet, etc.?
Have you installed any software? If so, uninstall it and see if the problem goes away. Method 7 – Completely Uninstall and Reinstall Office If nothing has worked yet, there are not many options left! You can try to perform a full uninstall and then reinstall to see if the problem is fixed. Go to this link first and download the Fix It solution for your version of Office: Once you run that, go ahead and restart the computer and reinstall your version of Office.
