winword.exe won't close from IE

C

Chris Forecast

Hi

I'm running Windows XP SP1 and have Office 97 installed.

Whenever I view a Word document (.doc) in IE, winword.exe loads (which is
fine). When I close IE though, winword.exe remains loaded and sits there
using 50% CPU even though there is no longer any window displaying a word
doc. I can manually end the process but this is a bit of a pain.

Does anybody have any idea why it's behaving this way, or know of a fix?

Thanks

Chris
