Try...

Control Panel
Add/remove programs
Windows setup
Accessories
Details

Untick Wordpad and OK your way out.

Now repeat the above but *tick* Wordpad.

If you can get more detail on the exact error message, it would help,
but try this:

Many errors in Wordpad are fixed by removing this key in the Registry
with Regedit:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current
Version\Applets\Wordpad
A restart may be necessary.
