low resources when opening word

[klutz]

I have windows ME and office 2000. Starting a week ago,
word will not open. When I try to close the program
(ctrl,alt,del) the computer says that the system is low on
resources. After finally closing word, my computer still
says that I am low on resources. I don't understand this
since this is the 1st program that I try to open. I don't
have any NEW programs running in the background. Hope
someone can help. I need to get into word.

Thanks

Could be a corrupted normal.dot template. See

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!! That did the trick. I guess my
normal.dot template was corrupt.
