When you say "cannot open", what happens when you try? Does the
application just stop responding? Or do you get an error message, and
if so, what does the error message say?

With Word closed, search your hard drive for the OFFICEAV.DLL file. Include
hidden and system files and folders in your search. When you find it, note
the folder where the file is located. Click on Start | Run. In the "Open"
dialog box, type the following command (including quotes):

Regsvr32 -U "C:\<path>\OfficeAV.dll"

Replace <path> with the directory path for your OfficeAV.dll file. Click on
OK. You only have to run this command once (not every time you restart your
computer). You should get the message: "DllUnregisterServer in
C:\<path>\OfficeAV.dll succeeded." Your Office 2000 files should open
properly now.
