I have a P4 Dell Inspiron Laptop with 128 MB of ram. I recently ran into a problem where opening Word documents freezes Word. It just hangs. I tried reinstalling office but got no results. I even tried re-installing the OS and Word still hangs. I should mention that the files that I am opening are on a seperate partition than the OS. The seperate partition has not been formatted. Not sure if that would make a difference.
