Default WORD...4 minutes to 'CONFIGURE' & load...??? (!@#$%^&*)
i can't take it, man...this is crackin' me up (& I don't mean in a humorous way)...



uninstalled & reinstalled ms office home & business 2010...still the same thing...first, the stupid microsoft single image window...then...the entire app must be configured before it will even open...this is HORRIBLE...!!!

I also tried a 'repair', whereby Word runs from my computer...& that didn't work (think I did it correctly...not sure).

someone please help...thanx,


mark4man

Do you have any other versions of Word on your computer that you are using?

thanx all...

wanted to let everyone know that I finally phoned MS support & got this resolved.

The problem was 2-fold...

1) MS Office 2010 Starter was still installed, corrupted (& uninstallable) & corrupting the configuration of MS Office Home & Business 2010.

2) MS Installer was, for some unexplained reason, gone (?).

FIX) after uninstalling all apps related to office, due to MS Installer being kaput, a newly downloaded version of Office Home & Business could not be installed. the tech(s) installed it (Installer) from my OEM disc by initiating a repair of the OS (while saving all files, folders, settings, etc.)

once that occured, office was installed anew; & WORD is now working correctly

(also...as a result of the repair...Programs & Features is also now working correctly).

thanx for ur help,


mark4man


oh...I get the cross-posting thing now...just indicate it IS one, in fact, so volunteers don't waste their time in other forums answering the same question...got it...sorry
