I have written here about problems Microsoft update caused to my laptops.
I used Word Perfect 10 Suite on it for over 5 years. After a unwanted MS update it stopped working. I get a failure to install to “drive E” notice. I took to 2 computer repair shops. None could correct the problem. The last one, that resides in LaPorte suggest I got to, Discount Computer Warehouse - 2402 N State Road 39, La Porte, In.
The first thing the sales girl told me that my DVD drive is bad. The needed to replace it and will reinstall the W.P. 10 Suite for me.
I picked up my Computer Friday 08/17. $50+/- for new DVD drive, $50+/- labor. The installed W.P.
When I got home I found out they installed a different version of W.P.. When I began to use it. I found out there was no “Spell Check” or “Dictionary”.
Saturday morning or Sunday morning I turned on my laptop. M.S. began to update my laptop. “Warning do not turn off your computer”. I let it download and install.
The W.P. was missing.
Monday 08/20 I took my laptop and the original version of W.P. 10 and Paradox. Which I paid for.
The first time I took it to “DCW”. I took my homemade copy. A copy I used many times to install on my computer.
I received a call from “DCW”. She told me that the Original version of “W.P” is a “16 Bit” and my Laptop is a 32 bit machine. It will not work on my machine.
“It has been doing it for over 5 years”.
Every time I mention that several programs stopped working after M.S. did an update. She responds, That has nothing to do with it.
Right now I am using the SAME W.P. 10 suite on my 6 month old Laptop to write this Thread.
