IIRC, Word 6 expects a file "Share.exe" in C:\Windows\System, and =
complains if it doesn't find it. You can create an empty file, name it "Share.Exe", and put it in the = system folder. Regards, Klaus "Suzanne S.

Right. The KB article “Share.exe Is Not Supported in Windows 95 OSR2,
Windows 98 or Windows Me” at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=161619 explains how to create the dummy Share.exe file. -- Suzanne S.

Hi Rhianna,
From Start=Search/Find search on and delete all files that you find using this string ~*.*;*.tmp then start Word and see if you still get the problem. You may also need to turn off all other utilities including antivirus when running setup and set the Winword.exe file to use Windows 95 or Windows 98 compatability setting (search for Winword.exe right click on properties for that file) if you're already then through setup. ====== "vicissitude_vindication101" om wrote in message ... the file it can't open is "C:\WINWORD\RHIANNA\TEMP (little wiggle mark) E_' -- Let us know if this helped you, Bob Buckland ?:-) MS Office System Products MVP *Courtesy is not expensive and can pay big dividends* Office 2003 Editions explained http://www.microsoft.com/uk/office/editions.mspx |

OS = operating system, so Windows XP Pro is the answer.

Tried that already, without success. I run Word 6 (Microsoft Office
Professional) on a Windows Me system, and Word 2000 or above on other computers that I use. (Upgrading Word 6 to Word 2000 is not an option.) I need to share files between the Word 6 and the upgraded version computers. Double-clicking many Word document icons fails to open them. I get the following error message: "You must exit Windows and load SHARE.EXE in order to run Word". However, I can open all Word documents using File Open from within Word 6. I've read in Microsoft Support documents that: 1. Windows Me does not support SHARE.EXE; 2. A "0" kb (empty) SHARE.EXE file in the root and Windows/System folders can trick some programs that need this program; 3. SHARE.EXE can be loaded in either the Autoexec.bat or Config.sys files in some cases, but not in my case. What is the cause and solution for this problem? -Robert "Klaus Linke" wrote: IIRC, Word 6 expects a file "Share.exe" in C:\Windows\System, and complains if it doesn't find it.
