When i try to open my Microsoft Word Starter i get an error message saying,"Microsoft Word Starter 2010 cant be opened. Try again or repair the product in control panel" and i cant access any of the word file!!

I haven't tried anything to solve this problem. But i had recently deleted a registry from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Explorer\Folder types{ef87b4cb-f2ce-4785-8658-4ca6c63e38c6} in order to solve the search problem in my windows 7. so help!!

You can try what I did; just Click Control Panel < Programs< Programs and Features, then find Microsoft Office Starter - English, and right click it.  Click Change < Click Yes.

And after a few minutes, your Office Starter should be good and ready to go! :)

See http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/click-to-run-switch-to-using-an-msi-based-office-edition-HA101850538.aspx

Click-2-Run is the Application Virtualization (App-V) streaming version of Office 2010. It is available for both the Office Home and Student 2010, and Office Home and Business 2010 products. For more information about Click-2-Run, you can check the link below:

http://blogs.technet.com/office2010/archive/2009/11/06/click-to-run-delivering-office-in-the-21st-century.aspx

Based on the current situation, we can try to remove the virtual drive and the Click-2-Run program, then install the Click-2-Run version again. If you do not want to install the Click-2-Run version, you can choose to install the traditional version.

===================================

Remove the drive (which can be with any name other then the one you use by default). Check any drive that got created (drive which you normally don�??t find in your system). Remove the drive.

Open the temp folder and delete all the files in the temp folder.

Try to uninstall Click-2-Run from Windows installed application under Control Panel--> Programs and Features.

Restart the computer and click on the link below:-

http://us20.office2010beta.microsoft.com/product.aspx?sku=10199928&culture=en-US <http://us20.office2010beta.microsoft.com/product.aspx?sku=10199928&culture=en-US> to get the Click-2-Run version

orhttp://us20.office2010beta.microsoft.com/product.aspx?sku=10199914&culture=en-US for the traditional install.

Also you can refer to this link for similar issue:http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/office2010/thread/ba63fad4-1a00-45a8-a007-82c853ea56e3
