Microsoft Works 8.0 Spreadsheet Problem (Vista)

I recently installed Windows Vista Service Pack 1. I can get into the Microsoft Works Task Launcher, and Works Spreadsheet. The problem I am having is: "I cannot open any of my previous files." I am able to create a new file, save it and reopen it, but I need to access my old files for important information. Can anyone help me?

    Never mind..... I found an update for Microsoft Works 8 Spreadsheet and Works 8 Database (KB933828)

My windows launcher has stopped working

Hi,

Try using System File Checker to scan your OS for missing/corrupt files, complete these steps:
Click Start, and then type cmd in the Start Search box.
In the results area, right-click cmd.exe, and then click Run as administrator. You will be prompted to type the password for an administrator account. Click Continue if you are the administrator or type the administrator password. Then, click Continue.
At the command prompt, type Sfc /scannow, and then press ENTER.

The scan may take some time, so be patient. Windows will repair any corrupted or missing files that it finds. If information from the installation CD is needed to repair the problem, you may be prompted to insert your Windows Vista CD.

Hope this helps you. Let us know either way. Make it a great day!


Good luck!
And Thanks.

Microsoft works 8 in windows vista

You should be able to click on the cell (or highlight the range), right click on the area and select Format Cells from the menu list that pops up. Does that work?
