Hi - Computer "greenhorn" here. I just ran CCleaner for the first time. I first analyzed and then cleaned the system and registry with the default settings (maybe a mistake from the little I've read here). Everything appeared to work OK until I realized I cannot open any MS Word documents. MS Word opens and runs, but I cannot open any older documents. I get a message that names the document and says "file not available." Furthermore, if I type a new document and save it, I cannot open that document either. All of these documents appear to actually be present both in Word and Windows Explorer, however, niether program will open them.
I tried reinstalling the registry which I saved; that did not work. I even tried a full system restore to restore point a full day before I ran CCleaner with no luck - same problem.
Any advice on how I can fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Specs: using Windows XP w/service pack 3 and MS Word Professional Edition 3
Thanks,
Greg
