corrupt message
I think you have much bigger issues at the moment--it sounds like your hard
drive is about to fail. I would make a backup copy of all of the documents/pictures/data you have on that drive, replace the drive, and then copy the backed up files to the new drive. I know from personal experience that the longer you continue to use a failing hard drive, the more likely it is to fail, and that the sooner you act to back up data, the less likely you are to lose everything. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "worried" wrote in message ... the last few a days i was receiving a corrupt file message through the Word viewer files. yesterday chdsk took over my computer at the start of a reboot and after a scan lasting 2-1/2 hours cleared the corrupt file.
