Word hanging when opening

[linzwhittles]

Hi,

When opening up Word 97 from a Laptop(Windows 98) that used to run the program fine is now hanging when it is opened. All other Office Apllications are fine.

Any body with any ideas? [sig][/sig]

I would re-install Word, it may be that some other software recently installed has changed files that word uses to run. [sig][/sig]

hey linz,

i'd do a virus scan (might be a virus) and a thorough scandisk (w/automatic repair for errors) before the uninstall. [sig][/sig]

Also check that your Normal.doc has not grown or is even there. Check your free space on the disk and clean up some files if needed. [sig][/sig]

Hi,

Thanks for the advice, I have tried almost everything i can think of and it still doesn't work.

Anymore ideas?

You might try running a diagnosis program like Norton System Works on the laptop. It may be that a file in Windows is corrupted, and this may correct. A lot of problems I was having on my computer cleared up just by doing that.
