Microsoft Office

My Office is messed up.
I can't open a Word or Excel Doc unless I first open word or excel and them click on the open folder in the toolbar.

If I try to open the doc without doing that, I just get a rapidly flashing windows installer dialogue box

I can't find my Office disc or I'd just uninstall and reload.

Any suggestions?

Get rid of it and use openoffice 2.2 - will open and save word and excel files, looks almost the same and is legally free! Get it at http://www.openoffice.org/

Right click a Word document and select or browse to Office.
Set it to always.Do the same with Excel files.
