BlankI sent this to works.win, but have not had a reply.

Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?

Subject: Works Error Messages - Cannot complete


Lately (for several months) when I start a Works document I get 2 error messages

Each has a yellow triangle with a large bold exclamation mark

The first just has an OK box
The second has this text: Works cannot complete task. Try restarting Windows, or reinstalling Works
It also has an OK box

If I click both, the document appears to open O.K.

When I save, the same occurs, but again it seems to save and close O.K.

At other times, I get a message to the effect that the file cannot be found. When I open Task Manager I find msworks.exe is active. If I kill this, the file will open.

What is wrong?

P.S. Trying both the options suggested (restarting Windows, or reinstalling Works) does not make any difference

Works Task Launcher cannot install the necessary files to your computer's
hard drive. There may be problems with your computer's hard drive. You can
try reinstalling Works.

Works cannot complete the task. Try restarting Windows, or reinstalling
Works.

Works Task Launcher cannot find one of the files necessary to display tasks.
Try reinstalling Works to replace the file, and then start the Task
Launcher.

Wesley,

Thank you for this reference

The suggested resolution is:
To resolve this problem, log on to the computer as an Administrator

I am an Administrator, and always have been, but the problem has only
occurred (fairly) recently

Trevor,

That was all I could find on the problem. Except for your other post. :-D
