Errors when opening/saving Office files, how to repair?
Hello all,
Office decided to stop working last night. Everytime I save/rename a document I've been working on I get an error.
Saving an Excel document I've been working on: "Your changes could not be saved to FILE NAME because of because of sharing violation"
When I click OK on that: "Your changes could not be saved to FILE NAME but were saved to a temporary document name BLABLA. Close the existing document, then open the temporary document and save it under a new name"
When I click OK on that: "The file you are trying to open, BLABLA, is in a different format than specified by file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?" --> I click on no coz it goes round in circles.
When renaming an Excel document: "INVALID MS-DOS FUNCTION"
Saving a Word document I've been working on, it opens the Save As function.
When say overwrite the existing document: "Word cannot complete the save due to a file permission error."
When renaming a Word document: "INVALID MS-DOS FUNCTION"
I figured I'd uninstall & reinstall Office. It made things worse..
When I try to open a document (any) it says: "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem" Followed by: "There was a problem sending the command to the program". Same happens when I try to open a document from my external backup.
On a different laptop it will open the documents from my external backup, so it's the program not the documents themselves.
HELP!! What do I do?
