Microsoft Office Programs refusing to open.

[ThyFeared]

I try and open my word document to edit my resume and it just refuses to open. When I go into my Task Manager I do see that Microsoft click to run is running but nothing opens at all. I have no idea as what could be wrong. Should I just reinstall?

• have you tried turning it off and on again

have you tried re-installing them

I've tried ending the task but that comes to no avail. I'll try re-installing now.

No it was already installed and nothing ever came up in the system tray.

Alright. I have done many of the installs and sometimes it shows that running a lot of memory and usage and it ends up being in the tray installing. This is why i am not a fan of Microsoft

Yeah but most companies use it and if I used open office my resume will most likely look really bad on Word haha.

@tbroadwater2010 @Mug I reinstalled and it has not changed a thing. Should I just give up on it?

I've already done that and I don't know where to get a retail ISO at since I got this from my University but I don't attend it anymore. 

 

Also @tbroadwater2010 I restarted and nothing happened it just opened Microsoft click-to-run in task manager and did nothing.

Did you try just opening the program or are you opening it by opening the resume?

I've tried opening the actual program and running it as admin as well.

So much work haha. I forgot I still have my school laptop I just used that.

@ThyFeared I would clean install the OS. I had a LOT of problems from upgrading. i ALWAYS recommend doing an clean install. HIGHLY SUGGESTED.

Yeah I was just too lazy to re-install all my programs but I'll most likely clean install this weekend! Thanks for all the help!

Yeah man, when i upgraded my system to the specs in my sig, i was lazy too. Wondered why i was getting total crap FPS from my GTX970. Thought maybe the mobo, which had seemed to give me issues before, so i switched it all out. finally i HAD to reinstall windows 8.1 and upgrade to Win10 (i did a clean install on the upgrade) all problems were fixed to my surprise.
