When I try to open an office (microsoft or excel) I get a message saying "updating office, please wait" but then I get a message that the apllication was unable to start correctly. This is for all the docs on my computer. Help!

    Hi @Laurie Gallagher ,
    What version of Office did you use?
    I suggest you try to repair Office application:

    If this problem still existed, try uninstalling and reinstalling Office:
