Word 2002 error message

BGW

just recently Word 2002 strated to misbehave with an error
message 'Error 1042 cannot access registry key. It then
goes on to say I need to consult my administator because I
don't have the necessary permission to access the registry.
I have tried to uninstall/repair etc but they all generate
the same error message. I'm now locked in to the position
where Word is stuck in the Registry & I can neither
uninstall or reinstall. Can anyone help?? Standalone PC at
home so no question of administartor etc!

See if the error occurs when you start Word using the /a switch. Go to
Start/Run and run:

winword /a

Note the space before the forward slash.

Let us know what you find and we'll go from there. :)
