Thanks for all the advice. On the basis that all other programs and functions are working fine, I do not want to risk a clean instal.
So I would be happy with a close alternative to OfficeXP - I...
Any recommendations for a good, free alternative package to MS Office?
I only need Word, Excel and Powerpoint look alikes. Preferably without a any interference from pop ups or ads or...
That all sounds good. Does a complete windows reinstall totally clean up the registry? Should I choose option 1 - keep apps and settings or 2 Total wipe out. Does 2 make it like a fresh start...
Yes SP3 has been in there for several years. That is a red herring
Update is up to date, I only install what Win Update offers.
Normal.dot has nothing special. .Whether I say yes or no to the...
Cannot use detect and repair as Work never opens properly. It dies after loading 5 blank pages. I am getting the error message "The file normal already exists. Do you wish to replace the existing...
I have used M/S Office XP pro (with Frontpage) for several years on my win 10 laptop without an issue.
I had suddenly stopped working. e.g. in any of the apps, like Word it shows the desktop icons...
Thanks for that. Seems to have sorted itself out, after two re-boots, the list of file slowly refreshed and changed to the proper icon. A foible of Win 10! - MP4 associated with Windows Media Player,...
When I open file explorer the listing it used to show icons appropriate to the files e.g. a MP4 movie would show a movie screen image.
Now all I get is a generic music icon (see attached snapshot...

Thanks. I have tried all those suggestions and nothing untoward reported. Bit of a mystery but the only other thing is that this laptop runs something called Asus Hard Protection Tool - but that is...
I have a 2015 Asus laptop, it shipped with Win 7pro but included the free upgrade t Win 10 pro which I actioned in 2016.
This is a backup laptop and not used regularly but updated with any new Win...
Thanks and interesting but too late for me as the update had commenced. p.s. took a mere 17 hours to complete!
Thanks I'll do that. I just know they will still get me eventually after the 365 days. I just feel that many of these upgrades/updates are not really necessary. Cheers.
I meant every "update" has caused hassle, not everyone on the Forum, who are mostly helpful. I have all data backed up but not a full laptop back up. Will try that free Macrium software.
It has finally finished after 14 hours of depriving me of my laptop. I have yet to experience ANY "upgrade" to Win 10 which has made my laptop better, in fact everyone has caused hassle. Remember...
No idea what you mean. It's now a full 10 hours and the wheel keeps spinning. IF it does become unbootable I am walking away from Windows. Too much interference and constant "updates" none of which...
Didn't do a system image, or system restore.
I was meaning that IF the upgrade finally comes down, there is no way to get the colours (taskbar etc) back to exactly as they were before the...
Ok thanks, will wait overnight, not holding my breath. I understand it also changes all the colours and there is no way to put it back exactly to how it was before. Ridiculous if true! I am...
