I cannot open my installed version of Microsoft Small Business Edition 2003,
nor Works 8.5 on my XP computer. I get an error message #1305 that says I
don't have access to a file.

Last Dec., I had a computer guy "fix" my computer and he did all sorts of
things to clean it up - I am still running into "surprises" of things I no
longer have or that don't work. I have been trying to get excel files, .doc
files, etc to open and cannot. Even though the programs show up on my Program
list, the programs won't open and I have tried to uninstall using the
add/remove programs with no luck.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do?
