Microsoft Works Problem (Fixed)
Thursday, March 8, 2012 by Philly0381 | Discussion: Personal Computing
Yeah, don't laugh, that's what I use.
This morning for some reason the shortcut for the Works Task Launcher decided not to work. Opened a window but did not respond. Of course the first thing I suspect is that I picked up a nasty. I went to the directory and everything is there for Works. Try opening the Task Launcher for there but get the same problem. This was after trying a new shortcut. I can open all the individual programs with no problem so it appears that the .exe for Works Task Launcher is messed up. As I can create shortcuts for each of the programs it's not presenting a major problem, I was just wondering if anyone in the community knew why this happened.
I went to Microsoft on the internet, but I get lost very easily.
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
Any help in figuring out the problem will be appreciated.

May I suggest pencil and the back of an envelope next time it breaks?
And if you want to skin it . . put a box of Crayolas on the list and go to town!

I find that most folks generally use the piece of software that gets the job done for them. I'm at the point in my life that I occasionally have a need for a word processor, since MS Works come with the computer it serves my purpose.
Oh, and I'm ever so glad that I was able to provide you all with some amusement in you life.

Okay so guess what, Works Task Launcher is now working and I didn't do anything. It just may be as I thought, MS sending out some of their 'Silent Updates' that got corrected. I found when I started looking deeper into the problem that Works was coming up as not being compatible with Windows 7. Imagine that.
