Default Word conversion to PDF freezes

I have two computers, one with Win98 OS and one with WinXP. On the computer
with WinXP, when I try to convert a Word document to Adobe PDF format by
printing with Adobe Distiller, the progress bar in the dialog box that pops
up for Distiller stops at about 40% of the way across and the process hangs
up. When I click Ctrl/Alt/Delete, it shows Word is not responding and I have
to exit Word. This does not happen on my machine with Win98. It converts Word
to Adobe PDF without a hitch. Both machines have Word 2000 and Adobe Acrobat
5.0 installed on them. I tried a clean reinstall of Adobe 5.0 on the machine
with WinXP and the process works OK after the reinstall, but the next time I
go to do it again after the computer has been turned off and back on again
another day, the same hang up occurs.
Any thoughts?
