Glad you're sorted - good luck!

Noel,

This is the second time you've come to my rescue with
clear and easy-to-follow solutions and both times you've
solved the problem.

You're the best!!!!!!!!!

Do a Search for all files named Normal.dot - rename them
to Normal.jnk.
Reboot - and see if that's helped.
If not.....
You may have a virus/spyware hijack

download the Stinger from here and run it to make sure
that A-V-disabling
viruses are not present on your PC
http://download.nai.com/products/mca...rt/stinger.exe

- update your virus scanner and run a full system scan of
all files.

Reboot to Safe Mode and run CWShredder - to remove
variants of the
download AdAware from www.lavasoftusa.com, install,
update, and run it to
remove spyware, adware,
and other such nasties from your system.

Whenever I try to do anything at all in MS Word, my
computer freezes up. Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del gets me to a
Windows Error box with the subject error listed. I have
to manually press the power on/off button to do get the
computer to reboot. I have uninstalled and reinstalled
MS
Word but to no avail. This problem just started today.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
