Hi Gary,
What happens if you goto to start run and type "winword /a" (without the
quotes) does it work?
If you boot your computer into Safe Mode and launch Word does it start?

| I can't open Word 2000, it is part of Office 2000
| Professional. I recently loaded this on a new computer
| and all programs worked. Now everything works but Word.
| When I click on the icon, I get the splash screen, but
| the computer freezes and I have to use Ctrl/Alt/Del to
| close the application.
|
| I have re-installed and still have the same problem.
|
| Any ideas would be appreciated.
