Old user-new problem.
I have been using word 2000 on my Win98 system for a long time with no
problems. Now when I call it up I get the "word 2000" flash screen and
system hangs. Excel and PowerPoint function correct.
Forcing a reboot, CTRL/ALT/DEL twice,gets me that system resources are low.
Checking prior to booting word see using only 23% resources, and lots of
drive space. Ran spyware/virus checkers and come up clean. Ran Scanreg and
its says all OK.
Almost forgot:: uninstalled and reinstalled office 200 three times-same
result.
Any thoughts or troubleshooting help appreciated, running out of hair to
pull.
