Default Word 2002/XP sometimes freezes when opening in "My Documents"

Well the FAQ covers problems that match that too.

So he can open Word to its blank document, edit and then save it. But he
cannot open existing docs?

Which AV is being used?

What happens when opening in Safe Mode? From Start | Run, type in

winword /a

and press Enter. Now try File | Open. Does it still freeze?

If it still freezes in Safe Mode, delete and reinstall the printer driver -
first making sure it is the latest printer driver from the manufacturer's
support site.

Usually a corrupt normal.dot or corrupt/missing printer driver. But try

He doesn't have problems opening Word. He has problems with Word's open
document feature/option (open dialog box).
