ItalyJack,
I understand you reinstalled Windows (what version, 95, 98, ME, XP?) from the recovery CD, presumably because of some error you couldn't solve otherwise. Was Microsoft Office included on that CD? If so, it should run, or something is wrong with the recovery CD. In that case, contact the maker for instructions.
If MS Office was not included on the CD run Setup from the MS Office install CD to reinstall it (possiby first uninstall). However, first try repair.
Hope this helps.

After rebooting my computer because Windows would not load, with the recovery disc sent with my computer, now Microsoft Office programs will not open. All the files are in C\Windows\Startmenu\Programs\MicrosoftWord.ink
I keep on getting the following error messages:
"This application must be installed to run. Please run setup from the location where you originally installed the application"
When I double click on the folder in the C drive I get the error message " The managed software installer failed to install the program associated with this file"
