I am having the same problem and was glad when I saw this question but I
do
not see an answer. This is a big problem for us because we cannot use
Word.
Is there another program out there we could use??

Every time I open Microsoft Word 2000 SR-1 the page loads up but then
i
get a
message saying that Microsoft Word for Windows has encountered a
problem
and
needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. It then gives you
the
option to send an error report which I have done and it suggests to
click
onto a link to the Micosoft updates page to try to fix the problem. I
have
downloaded 3 updates it told me I needed but the message continues to
come
up
so I am unable to use Word. I would be very grateful if anyone could
offer
me some suggestions as to what to do to solve my problem. Thankyou.
