internet scrip error

This is a very unusual problem to have with Win ME - are you sure that your

newsgroups...

Fdisk File - Large hd support

It's a self-executing Zip file - you can open it with WinZip (this is common
to many MS patches)

Cannot open Windows Word or Word documents

Sometimes it's caused by a bad shutdown of Word - sometimes it just seems to
'happen'!. I know of no real defined cause.

Glad it worked for you, and thanks for the feedback - Good Luck!

Cannot open Windows Word or Word documents

This problem is almost always caused by a corrupted Normal.dot template file
do a Search for all such files, and rename ALL found to Normal.JNK - reboot,
and try opening Word again.
