Sounds like you may have a Bluetooth Add-in that is causing the problem.  Click on the File menu, then Options and then on Add-Ins and then click on the Go button alongside Manage Add-ins and if there is a Bluetooth Add-in, disable it.

    The program stops before I can get to the add-ins and does not allow me access.  Is there another way to change without opening the program?  I am getting the error for excel, word, powerpoint, etc...

    I can't even get to add-ins.  I was told it was due to Windows 8.1 update.  I have quick repaired, online repaired, uninstalled, reinstalled twice - I can't get to the point of addins.  Do you know of any other solutions or steps I may take?

    I installed Office Home & Student 2013.  But when I try to call up Word with my shortcut, I got a message that says:  A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  My computer is only two weeks old and would not take my old Office 2003.  I now have Windows 8 which S**ks as I did have Windows XP which I loved.  I feel like a computer invalid with this new Windows 8.  It already instructed me to download Windows 8.1 for free, but had a problem and would not download.....Can someone help me get Office 2013 working?
