- Hi Dell-Ravi Chandra.Thank you for your friendly reply.I have a problem to perform the method 1, as I run
Vista-OS, 32 bit, Home Premium (Dell-Studio- 1555 Laptop) The software-Ms works
9.0 came installed with new PC - purchase and installation CD was
included.I do not know where is ‘Local Security Policy’ located
on my machine. Can’t see it under Administrative tools in Control
Panel.Trying to perform Method 2 I found that ” Mswkscal.wcd “
is missing.It is not in Program Files , is not in Program Data, is
not in Program Files/Common Files/Microsoft Shared/Works Shared
Folders.Also Registry Editor shows its absence.There after I removed Works 9.0 again and reinstalled it
from CD I have. It did not help . Mswkscal.wcd is
still missing.I have no other source than my CD to restore the file,
or entire software from .I realize ,that the problem can lie somewhere within my
laptop and I will not solve it with no help.Thank you very, very much for helping
me.Regards.Hala. DELL-Ravi Ch

Hi.
Thanks for the link.
I performed the fix, and after that the calendar still does not open.
I just found, right- clicking ' Mswkscal.wcd '
that the file opens with Internet Explorer,This astonished me,
as the file extension 'wcd' opens with Microsoft Works by
default..
Accordingly I am trying to change file association with right program.
I keep selecting Microsoft Works with no awaited result.(It can be changed to any program,) but Microsoft works9.0.
.
I guess, my original Dell installation cd got corrupted or damaged already.I am willing to believe,, that Microsoft Works 9.0 reinstallation from Dell webside could solve the problem, but I can't . find a link to download Microstoft Works 9.0.
Thank you for helping out.
