Microsoft Office Spreadsheets?
« on: September 18, 2008, 02:42:21 AM »
After installing this software I can't get any of my Word or Excel spreadsheets to open. How can I fix this?
Thanks!

Which was your old antivirus? Norton? AVG? How did you uninstall them?

1) Remove NAV through Add/Remove programs from Control Panel. Boot.
2) Use Norton Removal Tool for Windows 2000/XP/Vista or Norton Removal Tool for Windows 98/Me. Boot.
3) Install avast! (or repair the installation) and boot.

If you follow Tech's steps above, it should be removed.

Yes if you're logged as the administrator of the computer (not a common user).
