I also get this same message when attempting to open Word 2002. I click
"ok"
on the error window, reopen Word and receive the question do I want to
open
Word in Safe Mode, choose option yes and Word opens. I would appreciate
hearing if there is a fix for this. I checked the MS knowledge base with
no
results.
