WORD 2003 Startup locks up

[jski]

I installed Office Business 2003. Everything starts except Word 2003 which
will only start in safe mode. It appears Word startup is using 100% of my
CPU (running XP Pro) while trying to start I have tried updating,
troubleshooting, no success. Anyone???

Thanks, that helped. My default printer was set to a network printer and when
it wasn't accessible Word 2003 went into an infinite loop looking for it. I
just changed the default printer and everything is now fine.
