Word 2000 on Win 98

I'm having trouble running Word 2000 on my Win 98 PC.
The problem has only recently begun happening.

When I luanch Word 2000 the system freezes. If I hold
down Ctrl-Alt-Del I get the following message....

"The system is dangerously low in resources. Would you
like to terminate the following application? Winword [not
responding]"

I've also received the following message....

"Fatal exception oe has occurred at 0167:BFF9DFFF"

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Word 2000 so I'm
fairly certain that's not the problem. The PC has 128mb
ram and 90% resources free. There's plenty of space on
the hard drive.

Any ideas?

A common cause for WORD freezing is a corrupted NORMAL.DOT file. Search for
this file and rename it, then re-start WORD.

Thanks for your reply.

I've searched for normal.dot (showing all files and
folders) but can't find a file of that name.

Hmmm. I don't believe you can start WORD without it creating a file of that
name if it doesn't already exist. So your problem might be that for some
reason WORD is unable to create the file. Do a thorough scandisk to confirm
that there aren't problems with the file system.

You could also try asking an a WORD newsgroup where the WORD specialists
hang out.

This is from an other post.
Manlia reported this error.
"An unrecoverable error 0E has occurred in 0197:BFF9DFFF the current
application will be terminated "

This is how he solved his problem. Check it out.

It seems to be solved !

Through Windows Update I downloaded and installed a revision of
DiretcX 9 , the b, and from then on I had no other crashes with the
"error 0E at 0197:BFF9DFFF".
Now are three days and I start thinking it could be solved !
Of course I have no double check, neither I want ... go back.
Anyhow for the sake of others !

Best Regards
Manlio
