MS Word: Weird Stuff on Start

[King George John]

Hi:

Lately, when I click on a Word document (*.doc) I get a message that it is
trying to install something and then a little window comes up than says "An
error occurred and this feature is no longer functioning properly. Please
run Setup and select "Repair..." to restore this application." But I check
OK, and WORD runs perfectly thereafter.

But I have attempted to run setup from the original MS Office disks and I
get some kind of error message about a "patch."

Frankly, things are working just fine except for the slight delay from
clicking thought the initial error message.

Should I just ignore it (and hope is goes away - that seems to happen a log
with XP) or should I do something serious like un-install OFFICE and
re-install.

Hi

Try this:

Open Word and then go to Help>Detect and Repair...

There is a repair tool on the help toolbar for WORD.

Exactly what does the popup say, what isn't "right"?
