Restart twice. 3. Use Add or Remove Programs to uninstall WP Office Suite. 4. Restart. 5. Quit while you are ahead. Goofing around in the registry trying to exorcise inconsequential fragments of WP Office Suite probably caused the problem in the first place.

Worth a try.

The Word Perfect program file folder has been deleted as well as all Corel related files since I don't use any Corel products. All related items in the registry have been deleted also. I no longer have the installation CD so I can'r reinstall it. What's next? On Saturday, February 24, 2007 at 7:38 am, Larry wrote: >I recently bought a new Dell laptop.

I don't use it but left it alone. Just used RegSeeker to search the registry and the word wordperfect appears 1355 times. If I was trying to cleanup WordPerfect from my system I would use ERUNT to make a full registry backup then RegSeeker to find and then delete all registry entries that contained wordperfect.
