Harold, thanks for responding. I don't get any error messages of any kind. No microscopic details details to report. I click on a document to open and the computer shows its round swirley-hour glass kind of icon thingy and takes its usual 2-3 seconds as though the doc will open and then nothing. I click again and then nothing. Nothing - no error messages, no nothing. Its like there is no software there. I can see the icons on my list of software, but its like it not there. I've asked several smart IT people around here - people who work on help desks and no one has a clue! The only thing someone said is that maybe when I'm downloading something I've "written over it" . I don't buy that as I've hardly downloaded anything. I wish I could give you more details and I hope it doesn't happen again. I've downloaded it and uninstalled it twice and the same thing has happened. No comments on if you think vista has some bug in it? Thanks again, Beth

Please give very full detail. b) Exactly what happens. Again, microscopic detail please, especially the *exact* text of nay error messages you get Have you also got Microsoft Office on your system?
