The Ultimate Word Undo

I accidentally deleted the file menu from Microsoft Word. How can fix it?

Here’s the fix: Word stores macros, style formats, and menu, keyboard, and toolbar customizations in a file called normal.dot, which probably resides in C:\Documents and Settings\yourlogon\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates (XP) or C:\Users\yourlogon\AppData\ Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Word templates (Vista).

To revert to Word’s premistake condition, close Word, restore normal.dot from a pre-error backup, and reopen Word. What? You don’t have a backup? Then close Word, delete normal.dot, and re-enter Word. The program will create a new normal.dot file using Microsoft’s defaults.

While installing Norton Antivirus 2007 my PC was infected by a malware and it crashed. After restarting, I got an error- “registry file not found” while loading Windows XP. Then I installed Fedora 7. It formatted all my data and no partition was left. Now I want to install Windows XP through a bootable disk but it asks for partition. What do I do?

You need to create a new partition and install Windows onto this. First, make sure you hard drive is getting detected by your PC. This can be seen by going into the BIOS settings - Standard CMOS Features, and making sure your drive shows up here. In case it does not, check the cables. There are only three possibilities: 1. Setup says “No Hard Drive” and cannot proceed. In this case, you need to check if the disk is being detected properly. 2. Partitions show up, but they are listed as being “unknown”, or “non-windows”. This is what should have happened, based on what you have told us.

In this case, use the arrow keys to navigate and “D” to delete all the partitions. You should then be left with “Unpartitioned Space”. Simply create a new partition by pressing “C” and proceed. 3. No partitions show up, and you have a single listen for “Unpartitioned Space”. Create a new partition by pressing “C” and proceed.
