In post #24, run the Microsoft Office Diagnostics and select Repair.

If that doesn't work it may be due to your Program Access and Defaults being set to open Office and OE, we can look at that next.

If none of those work it's easy enough to create shortcut icons in the All Programs menu from within the MS Office program folder.

OK, go into Set Program Access and Defaults and post what you have listed as your defaults for any of Open Office, Outlook Express or MS Office programs.

1. Click START
2. Click 'My Computer'
3. Double click 'Local Disk (C:)'
4. Double click 'Program Files'
5. Double click 'Microsoft Office'
6. Double click 'Office12'
7. Find 'WinWord12.exe', right click it, and go to Send To > Desktop (Create Shortcut)
8. Find 'Excel.exe', right click it, and go to Send To > Desktop (Create Shortcut)
9. Find 'PowerPnt.exe', right click it, and go to Send To > Desktop (Create Shortcut)
10. Find 'Outlook.exe', right click it, and go to Send To > Desktop (Create Shortcut)
11. Proceed and find the rest of the Office applications in that folder. Follow the same instructions as above. Most of the Office applications have somewhat identifiable names (like Microsoft Access = Access.exe)
