winword has caused an error in kernel32.dll

[Bk Chockalingam]

Hello,

I started experiencing trouble with MS Word. I was
initially running Word 2000 and it was working fine. But
off late, it started experiencing some problems. It would
freeze up when I start it. And I would get messages that
the system was dangerously low on resources. I had to
restart the machine to do anything else.

So I uninstalled Word 2000 and went back to Word 97 to see
if that would run. But it won't. It gives me an error
message saying that "winword has caused an error in
kernel32.dll".

Any ideas what is going on here? Funny thing is other
applications like MS Excel and MS PowerPoint work fine. I
did uninstall other software before the whole problem
started. So I may have caused the whole thing. But I've
also reinstalled Word 2000 since then and I would think
that should have taken care of it. Hmmm... any help would
be appreciated.

Thank you.

Regards,

Bk.
