Windows Installer

Can anyone help me with this problem. When opening a WORD document a window opens saying' 'Preparing Windows Insataller' This has only started happening and I have run the sysytem without any problems.

It then goes on. 'Problem with shortcut'

'This patch could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor.'

    Are you opening the document from within Word?  Or, are you using Explore and clicking on the document?  It sounds like it might be a profile issue or a corruption in the Office program.  Have you tried repairing your MS Office?  (Run Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs, highlight MS Office and click on Change.  Then follow the instructions.)
