Well i went to control panel under programs chose the program and clicked change, it still didnt work. Does anyone know whats going on? and or how i can get it to work?

This just happened to me. 

The answer is here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2465140

Basically:

  1. open the control panel
  2. choose programs & features
  3. right click on Microsoft Office Starter edition
  4. select change
  5. Say "yes" to repairing the app.

    This isn't working for me... Says there is a "Click-2-Run configuration failure."

    I tried this but it comes up with a message saying that I need to be connected to the internet for it to repair. However, I am clearly already connected seeing as I am able to read and reply to this post. What do I do?
