Does Office 2003 keep rebooting your computer?

[Jtel]

I have a 2 year old higher end MS Xp computer system. Office 2003 is very
unstable - I often get reboots... when I do not, I spmetimes get a message
that says 'a script file wants to access winword.exe' and word will quit but
at least I get the desktop. More often though - its a complete reboot. I
have lost lots of work - and I have uninstalled, reinstalled - no updates,
all updates with no luck... This is the only program that does this.

Any help appreciated. Thanks

Have you scanned your computer for a virus or malware?

 

[Jtel]

Yes, scanned many times - also have spware and firewall protection

Do you do frequent checks for updates on your anti-virus, etc? As in at
least weekly?

Yes, at least once or twice a week

Then you may have a hardware issue causing the problem. Suspect RAM
problem most likely. try the link below for a tester
