Office 2003 Word hangs with opening error msg not displayed
I just upgraded from Office XP to Office 2003. Previously, when opening Word
I would always receive a dialog regarding an incompatible version of Adobe PDF Writer and I always chose to disable it (but I would still able to use it ;-). Occassionally the dialog would be behind the Word window and I'd only see the flashing icon in the Task bar and would have to minimize/maximize to get the dialog to display. Now with Office 2003 the same situation seems to be happening (I expected that it would) but I cannot force the dialog to the forefront and cannot proceed with Word. If I bring the system down hard (Task Manager won't load when this happens) I can get Word to load in 'Safe Mode' and it seems to work fine until I close it and try to open another document. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, -- Dennis Van Camp FourWinds Group, Inc. |
