At this point in time, I have only one thing to say...
WHAT THE FROG HAPPENED?!!
Microsoft Office has just stopped working altogether, and I have NO idea how the Elmo this happened! It was perfectly fine just last night, and now today, if I try to open Office, I just get that annoying error message saying "Microsoft Office 2010 has stopped working", or if I try to open a Word document, it just says "Preparing to install..."
I don't know if the automatic updates have something to do with this or not... when I shut down my computer last night, there were a bunch of automatic updates that were installed, and like I said, the Office suit worked fine last night, but today, it's not working at all! Scans are turning up virus/spyware-free, and I haven't changed anything settings manually, so I don't know what's going on, but I'M FREAKING OUT! I AM FREAKING OUT!!!
