  1. MS Word and Excel Error Windows/System32/VCrunchtime140.dll is either not designed


    Hello everyone!I have a problem with launching my Microsoft Word and Excel. Whenever I try to open it, a prompt pops that say, "Windows/System32/VCrunchtime140.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error."It suggested reinstalling the program or contact the system administrator. I already did the first one but it wasn't resolved. I hope someone could help me. Thank you!

    :)
