Jul 08, 2010 Also the software is known as 'Microsoft Works 2000', 'Microsoft Works 8'. The following versions: 9.7, 8.5 and 8.4 are the most frequently downloaded ones by the program users. Our built-in antivirus checked this download and rated it as 100% safe. The actual developer of the software is Microsoft.
Problem:I am working on a customers computer who uses Microsoft Works 8.5 and cannot print from the word processor. The printer works fine from all other programs, including other MS Works programs, just not within Works Word Processor. When trying to print, you get the following error message with the title of 'Printing Error':
- Free microsoft works 8.5 windows 10 download software at UpdateStar - Microsoft Works gives you the tools you need to transform your home computer into a productivity center. It's easy to use and essential for getting the most out of your computing experience.
- Works 8.5 is a later version, so you should install that version. Best, Andre Windows Insider MVP MVP-Windows and Devices for IT twitter/adacosta groovypost.com Report abuse.
- I recently purchased a laptop and not knowing that Works 9.0 was installed on it, I installed my 8.5 that I had to buy because it was not included on my Vista PC. The laptop has Windows 7 on it. So I uninstalled 8.5 and now my documents won't open in Works 9.0. It keeps saying the files are corrupt.
I have already tried (though not in this order):
1 ) Unplugging and reinstalling printer.
2 ) Deleted all installed printers.
3 ) Removed all installed printer drivers (Control Panel -> Printers -> Server Properties -> Drivers, cleared all in the list)
4 ) Removed Microsoft Works
5 ) Reinstalled Microsoft Works, the only error during installation was about a flash version 7 install which failed. This should not be a problem however, and the installation completes after that failure. This error should be due to the fact that Adobe Flash 10 is installed and newer than the version trying to be installed.
6 ) Ran Windows updates to update MS Works with security updates and any other available updates.
Microsoft Works 8.5 Windows 7
7 ) Allowed Windows update to also update HP printer
8 ) Installed updated printer from HP website
9 ) Created a 'dummy' printer using a lower model of printer driver (ie. HP Deskjet 500) and the same port as the actual printer.
10) Due to an error when opening Works Spreadsheet about having over 500 fonts installed, I cleared all the non system required fonts from the windows fonts folder and cleared the font cache file. This got rid of the error when opening Spreadsheet but had no effect on the printer issue
