Word 2000 will Not open

D

Doug Frye

I have installed Office 2000 on an new XP machine. Word will open under
administrator but not open for my addtional user.

I have given my user additional admin rights but this has not solved the
problem. I ahve installed all updates and still will not open. All other
programs in the suite work fine.

Any suggestions?

Hi Doug,

Can you start word using the /a switch? This is a troubleshooting mode
that will load Word using all defaults and bypass any macros that may
be running. Go to Start/Run and run:

winword /a

Note the space before the forward slash.

If that doesn't work then can you expand on how Word fails to open? Do
you encounter an error message?
