Repost: Word Closing Unexpectedly

As of a few minutes ago, when I try to open a new document with Word
2000, if the document is in My Documents, all is well. However, if I
click the Up button to get to My Computer and then double click on My
Computer, Word closes immediately with no warning or error message. I
just did a Detect and Repair, to no avail. If I locate a file in Windows
Explorer and double click on it, Word opens the document correctly. I
tried starting Word with the /a switch, and the problem is still there
(indicating that the problem is not a corrupt normal.dot.) I've found
posts with similar problems, but I have not found a solution. The OS is
Windows XP Pro, and both Word and XP are up to date.
