When typing in Replace-Mode (i mean typing on previous text), Word always freezes the screen, i have to click in the system bar (bottom), then i receive a BLACK screen during 3-5", after 10" Word gives the normal screen back. All data are back on screen, i can work forward. When i start working with Word, this problem occurs (only in replace-mode) after typing about 3 or 4 lines, but after it occurs faster and more often... Let us say i can not use this mode! It is a new PC with Pentium IV...

Thank you for your attention and any advice.
