Word 97 Won't Load--creates a new 1k file

Hi,

I am running 98se. Have uninstalled and reinstalled many
times.

If you load Word it will give a short flash. The toolbar
icon shows up and it creates another 1k file. For example
if my file name was Sample.doc (when it worked last night)
it now creates a file called ~$mple.doc

Any Ideas?

The temporary file is a locking file to stop a second access to that file.
It is quite normal and will disappear when you close the document and Word.
Are you having any other problem or just asking about the temp file?
