If I try to insert a clip art picture, when I click on clip art I get this
message:
"Works could not access files neccessary to display clip art. The files may
have been moved or deleted. To replace the necessary files, reinstall works,
then try again."

I have windows XP, and just bought the new works 8. I tried
reinstalling it, as it suggested, but I still can't access clip art.

I had to buy works 8 because this computer had a virus so we had to start
over with everything, and my school (I am a teacher)could not find it's old
back-up Works disk. Virus is all gone and everything's great except for clip
art!

Works has its own clipart and browser. The Works clipart is usually on the
Works disk. WKSv7std.sbs, this was the name of the file that contained
Works Clipart in version 7....I Don't have 8 so can not confirm if just the
number has change or the entire file name...

If you want to download clips from MS Clipart and Media site then you would
Works Suite with Word to get Clip Organizer and be able to download
clips....

I don't understand. Whenever I have used any past version of works' Word
program, I can go to insert and select clip art and a bunch of thumbnails
that came with the program just opens up. In this version that is not
happening. I get that error message instead. So, I can't even access the
organizer. This also means that I cannot download new clips either, which I
have always done in the past.

Are you using Works Word Processor or Word if you have Works Suite?
