    My computer was in perfect working order until I tried to install the cd software called 'QuickCam Chat'  by Logitech (WindowsLive Messenger).  I was unable to continue with the installation as a screen popped up calling for the 'Service Pack 2'.  I downloaded the Service Pack 2 from Microsoft.  (+- two hours to download.)  Thereafter, I found I was unable to open up any of my word documents (a blank grey screen would appear) and the page would not open at all.

     

    I do have virus security/protection on my computer - AVG.

     

    Please could you tell me what I should do to repair the problem as well as to repair these error messages? 

     

    These are the Windows messages that are continuously appearing on my screen, and I am unable use any documents.

    I look forward to your kind advice and assistance in repairing my computer back to normal.

     

    Thank you.

    I don't know where all above came from. My computer crashed. A new drive was installed, and what disks I had were used to reboot it. Now the security said there is a missing Office XP Service Pack3 that needs to be downloaded. But every time I try it does not download because it want a Microsoft Word 2002 to be able to do it. Also a WORDRET.MSI keeps popping up, and that is not in my computer.  If I can download either it might solve the problems.

       Thanks     J. R. M.
