problems with word 2000 need help

:confused:

I have problems with word 2000


Word will not open. It freezes and I have to Ctrl,Alt and
Delete. When doing this the computer tells me that the
system resourses are dangerously low. NEED HELP.

First step I would take would be to delete (or rename if you prefer) the normal.dot file. If this file is missing word will autmatically re-create it when it is started, but if it is corrupted it can cause word to hang on startup or other strange behavior.

Good advice magnoon. paladin: How much RAM do you have? What OS are you using? Have you updated to the latest version of Office 2000? It is available from the windows update page if you haven't. Have you tried rebooting? (I know it seems silly, but many times people receive this error because the page file needs to be refreshed. The only way to do this efficiently is to reboot.)

:eek:

tHIS IS My Friend's laptop

It's got 256 ram, crappy OSWindows ME, , updated office 2000............

lol, if it's crappy windows , why don't u go for linux.

and even if u r a ms win familiar os user, linux mandrak looks friendly and easy to use.

Yes paladin ME was crap,

But how did you go with the advice? what magnoon has recommended has worked for me many times..

Cheers

try also to get the patches for the office I had the same problem but with the patch it fixed it

Ohh, I know the fix...
Upgrade to Office XP. My friend Bill tell me that all the versions before XP had bugs in them but, this time they got it right!
Oh and this thing below will work too. Good advice magnoon!

For troobleshooting, MS apps many times, what Magnoon describes as a solution should do the job... As for Office XP and being a MS oriented tech... I can say one thing... Microsoft will always give me job... since there is no such thing as a MS apps without any bugs...

Like I've heard in the past... Microsoft, it's not a bug, it's a feature !

Good luck !

Ooohhh... and if the deleting the normal.dot file don't work... It's always a good thing to run an antivirus software on your computer !

:cool:

Thanks Guys


Did what magnoon
suggested and it work fine ...


Silly normal.dot file was corrupted
