flavius
tried your first option of microsoft fixit, but it failed to uninstall due to problems with windows installer how could i correct this, tried sfc but it reported no problems.
a bit worried if i try the second option i might have trouble reinstalling office, whats your opinion?
flavius, this failed too. also tried safe mode also still no luck.
i have an image somewhere will give that ago, but do not know how long office has been corrupt the image is 2-4 weeks old.
while i am hunting out the image any other options please
OK.Reset Windows Installer service to defaults,import this fix to registry https://www.sevenforums.com/attachmen...ue-msiserv.zip
+restart
final straw came when todays ati driver update would not install either, wanted to fix by way of repair but now admit defeat and used windows7 own backup image recovery.
used the restore image for first time, was quick, easy and worked very well.
thanks to all who offered help.
