Just started having problems with Word 2003 not opening - get error

and restart Microsoft Word", then the next time I try to open it asks
if I want to do so in Safe Mode.

This may be unrelated, but has come just after I started having
problems with my Outlook 2003.

When I try to do a new email, it opens with my previously OK
signatures now double spaced and options button in my toolbar does
not have all of the signatures that were once there (I have different
signatures depending on which business I am working on at the time).

When I go to Tools, Options, Mail Format and tick "use Microsoft
Office Word 2003 to edit email messages" and then try to start a new
email, I get the old "red cross" telling me that although Word is set
to be the editor, it is unavailable, not installed or not the same
version, and that the outlook email editor will be used instead.

Can anyone assist me with this. It first occured on my office desktop
and has now started on my laptop at home which I use as a remote to
the office desktop by LogMeIn. I think it started on the laptop when
I tried to open a Word document that I had forwarded to the laptop
from the office.

The home desktop that I am using at present seems to still be OK.

I am of the belief that nothing that I experience is unique - I'm
just not that special! I'd appreciate any help that you can give to
get this problem fixed.

Many thanks,
