microsoft works suite 2005

[Guest]

I have a Windows XP. Yesterday I purchased a Microsoft Works Suite 2005.
While I was loading the discs they appeared to all be loading correctly but
when I went in after loading every program was there except WORD which is why
I purchased the software. I tried reloading disc #1 (Word) but it wouldn't
open. Then I rebooted, still nothing. Tsried everything I could think of.

Thinking something with the disc was wrong I exchanged the whole package for
a new one. I opened the package and loaded the first disc but it still won't
run.

Any suggestions?

This is an excel newsgroup. You may get a better answer in a Works newsgroup.

HI TRISHA,
I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND I AM STILL HAVING A PROBLEM GETTING THE
WORD/WORKS TO START, BUT TO RELOAD, YOU CAN GO TO YOUR START MENU, THEN GO TO
RUN, THEN WHEN PROMPT COMES UP, TYPE IN D:\SETUP.EXE TRY THAT AND SEE IF
IT WORKS. ONCE YOU TYPE IT IN, YOU WILL GET A MESSAGE TO INSERT A CD. INSERT
THE CD AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. GOOD LUCK. ashlee
