Resolved Uninstalling Windows Works 8

In terms of experience, I am between novice and intermediate. I have been using XP and Windows Works 8 for one year, and I had no problem until now.

When I attempt to use the Works Word Processor, I receive the following error message: "This application has failed because WkWbl.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." All other Works applications still function, but I cannot even gain access to existing documents composed with the Works Word Processor even though they are still there on my C: drive and a floppy through the A: drive.

I have attempted to uninstall the entire Works, and I have failed to be successful.

I have attempted to install Works 8 from the Internet in order to supplant the Works 8 on my system, and I have been told that Works 8 already exists and nothing more is said or done.

I do have the Works 8 and Money cd, so if I can uninstall the present copy on my system, I would have no problem reinstalling it from the cd or the Internet.

Please advise me how to uninstall the existing Works 8 on my system or what else I can do in order to restore access to Works Word Processor. Thank you.

 

PeteC,

Thanks for the help. I used Revo Uninstaller, and it allowed me to uninstall MS Works 8. Thanks also for the tip about the bold entries!

However, I still have the problem that the Works 8 and Money cd will not work. When I run it, nothing shows up on the monitor and nothing occurs except that I can see the green light flashing in the drive bay for about 30-45 seconds while I also hear it running, and then both stop. I know that my cd drive is working, because I have been using it for audio cds. Can you hlp me out with this problem?

Hope I got the paragraphs right this time

 

PeteC,

Thanks again.

Windows Works 8 is now installed.

I am having another problem with it--it does not want to let me print my texts--but I do not have the time to deal with it now. I will be back to you later with the precise message that it sends in order to seek your help again.

BTW: Sorry about the "hlp" in my last message to you

Take care.

 

PeteC,

I would like to put the printing problem on the back burner for a while, because I have a more annoying problem at the moment, and I believe it belongs in this same forum.

I have attached the following problem to this thread because you have been so helpful and I know that I can reach you here. I hope that you do not think that I am taking advantage of you. If not, I will have one or two more problems--in addition to the printing problem--to discuss with you in the near future. You have a great site here!

Yesterday and today, several times at different reliable sites and with different startups I have had a failure of my computer to redirect when I have used a hyperlink for that purpose. And I receive no error message or the like, simply nothing occurs, even when I wait a few minutes. Again, this is not something that has occurred in the past year. Obviously, that failure has not occurred on your site or I would not be here. Is there something I might do to correct this problem.

BTW: I should mention that in addition to other security I have Norton 360 v. 3.0, so I am relatively certain that I do not have a malware problem.

Thanks again in advance for any aid that you might offer.

 

Thanks for the information about the site etiquette. It makes sense. I will start a new thread for each of my problems for the sake of others who might have similar problems.

 

Pete,

As mentioned before, I have resolved the problem of uninstalling Works 8, so I will post that as resolved.

I still need to get back to the printing problem, but I will start a different thread for that when I have the time--it's complicated. It has three different error messages! I've written them down, but I need the time on my home computer to report them here--I'm using a library computer with time limits at the moment--and I'm in the process of replacing a bad modem.
