Hello Everyone,

This is an old story but the old fixes don't work. I have Word 2000
on a Windows XP machine (Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook all open fine).
When I try to open Word it hangs and then when I try to close it it
makes a White screen.

I can go into Task Manager and kill the Winword.exe to "shutdown"
Word.
I can go into Winword.exe /a immediately
This issue happens on multiple profiles

I deleted the Normal.DOT
I backed up and removed DATA key under
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Word - I also removed the full
WORD key (which made it go through the
registration but failed to open still)

Since this issue happens in more than one profile I know I need to
focus on the HKey_Local_Machine instead of Current_User but not sure
what next to do. I see articles that say that even uninstalling and
reinstalling has not cleared it up but I am unsure if that is because
they left parts in the Registry.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
