My Microsoft Word Starter 2010 will not open

My Microsoft Word Starter 2010 will not open at all. Every single time I click on the icon in the start menu or on the desktop, this window opens and says "Click to Run Configuration Failure". What does that mean. Why won't it open? Please help
me, before I start uninstalling things in my control panel. 

Hi,
When you see the error "Click to Run Configuration Failure", please try a repair of the install from Control Panel -> Programs and Features:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/update-repair-or-uninstall-office-click-to-run-products-HA010382089.aspx
Or we should re-associate Office file, such as .docx file:
1. Open Default Programs from Control Panel\Programs\Default Programs.
2. Click Associate a file type or protocol with a program.
3. Click .docx file type.
4. Click Change program.
5. Choose Microsoft Word as default program.
6. Click OK.
Moreover, if the steps above don't help, you can also refer to this link, whose solution has helped some users:

  • Microsoft Word Starter 2010 problem

    When I am trying to open Microsoft Word Starter 2010 it appears as if it has frozen, then it responds as if it is going to open (it shows 'processing') then it says "Microsoft Word Starter 2010 cannot be opened. Try again or repair the product in
    control panel." What is happening? What do I do?

    Post your question in the Microsoft Office Answers Forum at the following web address
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office
    Don't forget to take a look in the Windows "Application" log in the Event viewer to see if there's any record related to the Office problem you're currently experimenting.

  • Microsoft Click to Run won't open Microsoft Word Starter 2010

    The error message says it cannot open Microsoft Word Starter 2010 to try again or to repair in Control Panel.  I have no idea how to repair it.  Any suggestions?
    I am running Windows 7 Home with an HP 2000 notebook pc.  64 bit Operating System.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the response - I'll keep a note of that forum for any future problems I may have.
    I've come up with my own workaround for the problem though.
    It seems that new documents I create on the Mac work just fine in Windows. So I simply created a blank document on the Mac, set up the document margins etc to match the edited document I was having trouble with and copied the entire contents over. Worked a treat. Must have been the way it was created in the first place.

  • Outlook 2010 will not open

    I have Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010. I've had issues with a problem in outlook where file was being generated in my PST folders everytime I opened outlook. I read where I should disable Norton Anti-Spam and it worked to allow me to delete the
    folders and not get any new ones. I thought I should try uninstalling MS Office and reloading it. I used the Control Panel to remove the program but it only partially removed Office and stopped. I then used FixIt and removed more of Office and got most of
    it but it stopped at the end too. I could not totally remove whatever remained of office but it looked like it was all gone. I also have Visio 2010 and Project 2010 and did not attempt removing those yet. When I tried to re-install office I got an error about
    legacy groove SW that needed to be removed first. I couldn't find a way to do it. I then read I could do a custom install and install everything in office except SharePoint Workspace. I did that and it seemed to work.  Everything worked except Outlook.
    So then I added features to the suite by custom install of SharePoint Workspace only. All seemed to work. But Outlook still will not open. I get an error that states: Cannot open your default email folders. An unexpected error has occurred. MAPI was unable
    to load the information service mspst.dll. Be sure the service is correctly installed and configured. I have Windows 7 Home Premium.  What should I do?

    Hi,
    Go to C:\Windows\System32 and double click on Fixmapi.exe, it won't give you any message, just reboot computer and try again.
    If this issue persists, create a new profile in Control Panel -> Mail to check the result:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918/en-us
    If this issue still persists, we need to uninstall Office completely, then re-install it.
    Once you finished uninstalling Office, please also delete the following registry keys:

  • Lync 2010 Will Not Open Anymore

    The problem is happening so far on three Windows 7 computers that used to be able to open Lync, but not anymore. Click the program icon to launch the program and the sign in box appears but Lync stalls at contacting server and signing in. A Lync message
    appears, "Cannot sign in because the server is temporarily unavailable.  If the problem continues, please contact your support team."
    Steps taken to resolve
    1) Verified the certificate hadn’t expired
    2) Deleted communicator folders in both folder locations, c:\users\username\app data\local\microsoft and c:\users\username\app data\roaming\microsoft
    3) Deleted the SSID folders
    4) Tried the manual configuration to connect to Lync by entering the sip domain name for the internal and external server names  
    5) Restarted pc, and also shut down the pc.
    6) Logged onto a different pc as myself and Lync 2010 opens for me.  When another end-user log onto my pc, they duplicate the same issue with Lync stalling and not opening and receive the same error message.
    7) Uninstalled and reinstalled Lync

    Hi,
    Please double check if the client trust the CA that issued the certificate on Lync server.
    Please disable firewall on your issued local workstation to check if the issue caused by ports.
    Best Regards,

  • In 10.6.4, Word and PPt will not open in Pages, Keynote

    I posted similar messages under Keynote and Pages, but I wonder if this is in fact a Snow Leopard 10.6.4 problem. I recently I clean installed MacOS 10.6 and reinstalled iWorks'09 on my laptop. I am running the latest version of Snow Leopard (Combo10.6.4) and iWorks'09 (9.0.3), but I can no longer open Word .doc or .docx files in Pages, nor can I open .ppt or .pptx files in Keynote. In Keynote, the progress bar gets about 1/3 across and just stays there, whereas in Pages, it just states that the document could not be opened. I need this ability for my work - PLEASE HELP!
    Thanks!

    After reinstalling the system software and the Combo10.6.4 update, reinstalling iWorks'09 and the 9.0.3 update, I repaired the permissions using the Snow Leopard installation disk and now Word .docx and PowerPoint .pptx open fine.
    Thanks!

  • I have installed Mountain Lion. I hate it! All my files in documents that were Word or Excel will not open. I am not that computer savy so this is a real problem

    I can't open my old files with Mountain Lion. This is a huge problem. What can I do

    You probably have Microsoft Office 2004 and can upgrade to Microsoft 2011.
    Microsoft Office's 2011 version is compatible with Lion and presumably either works with Mountain Lion or an update will make it so.  The problem with this approach is that Office 2011 will "convert" your earlier data files and there lies the rub!  For example, I have the need to weekly open a chart created in Excel 2004, but Excel 2011 trashes the chart in its "conversion."
    So I have approached the overall problem differently.
    The reason your applications do not work in Mountain Lion is that they were written for the older PowerPC CPU that all Macs used up to 2006.  When Apple made its transition to the Intel CPU, they licensed software that they included in all versions of OS X (from Tiger to Leopard and optionally, Snow Leopard) called Rosetta.
    Rosetta miraculously allows PowerPC applications to work on the Intel processor transparently; you do not know it is even present.
    The problem is that after 6 years of the transition, Apple's license to use the underlying software expired for OS X Lion and all version thereafter (and it is doubtful that the current owner of the software, IBM, would relicense it, even if Apple were inclined to do so).
    So for those of use that need to run Lion, I have offered the option to install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels 7:

    And now Mountain Lion:

  • InfoPath Filler 2010 will not open a form in SharePoint 2013

    I'm having a problem with the coexistence of SharePoint 2013 and Office 2010, specifically InfoPath.
    We are running SharePoint 2013 Standard, so we do not have access to web-enabled InfoPath forms, which is okay since all of our client machines have InfoPath Filler as part of their Office 2010 install.
    The problem is I have created a form and published it to a SharePoint 2013 library but when I try to create a new document in the library I get a page cannot be displayed error or the page just hangs. 
    However, as a troubleshooting step, I installed InfoPath 2013 on my client machine and when I access the library and create a new document it opens the form successfully. 
    I've changed the settings of the library so it uses the client application instead of trying to open in the browser, I've changed the trust settings to every possible configuration I can think of but I cannot get InfoPath 2010 to open a form published to
    SharePoint 2013.
    Is this a known compatibility issue, a bug, or am I missing something?
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    I encountered this issue recently. Some of our suers have upgraded to Office 2013 but a lot still are on office 2010. I did not want a solution that relied heavily on the users to do something, like upgrade to 2013 or modify 2010. That's not ideal.
    I realized the solution was very simple. I edited the InfoPath template within the document library in sharepoint > Form Options > Compatibility, change it to InfoPath filler form 2010. It still works for me and I have version 2013, so now it allows
    users with older versions to use it as well. I confirmed with the affected users that they can now access the form.
