My Word came with a new Vista Comp about 5 months ago. I'm not a power
user
by any stretch but I've been using word processors for 15 years.
Recently,
as I closed out of a document, an error window appeared that said "Windows
has stopped working..." I didn't think much of it until the next time I
went
to work on my document. First, I tried to open my doc from a shortcut on
my
desk top. It only started Word. I had to "manually" open my document.
And
then, I couldn't highlight any text (right click and drag). The mouse
works
fine other than highlighting text. Every time I close the program I get
the
"Windows has stopped working..."

I have "repaired" from the disc twice and it's exactly the same.
