I have been having a lot of problems with opening Microsoft word 2003
trial version. When opening it just freezes on my screen. I can
only open at start up, when the program tells me that it had problems
opening before and ask if I want to open in safe mode. I also cannot
do the office update installation engine it just freezes up everytime
I do it. I am not having these issues with excel or outlook. Please
help.
