Hi Jim,

I'm not sure if this will help,since it refers to another version of Works.
Nevertheless,the error message is the same and maybe the solution works as well.

  I have an HP pavilion ZD7000 running Windows XP that is 2 years old.  I
  recently installed WORKS 7 which came with the machine.  The spreadsheet and
  database programs work fine, but when I try to run Word, I get the message
  "Works cannot access one or more files it needs to run the word processor.
  The files may have been renamed, deleted, or moved. Try reinstalling Works
  and then starting the program again."  I reinstalled and the same thing
  happened.
