It sounds like you're experiencing a serious issue with your Office applications. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the problem:
- Check for Updates: Ensure that your Office applications are up to date. Sometimes, updates can fix bugs and issues.
- Repair Office: Since you see the repair option, try selecting "Repair Now". This can fix corrupted files or settings that may be causing the issue.
- Safe Mode: Try starting the Office applications in Safe Mode. You can do this by holding down the
Ctrlkey while starting the application. This can help if there are any add-ins causing the problem. - Remove and Reinstall Office: If the repair option does not work and you cannot access the applications, you may need to uninstall Office. You can do this through the Control Panel. If the error box prevents you from doing this, you might need to restart your computer in Safe Mode and then try uninstalling Office.
- Check for Conflicting Software: Sometimes, other software can interfere with Office applications. Make sure there are no other applications running that could be causing conflicts.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, you may want to consult Microsoft's support documentation or contact their support team for further assistance.
