All sorts of small glitches and problems??

[StargateFan]

I have a FACEID document for Word, for example, and many other
glitches that are happening in this new install of Windows 2000! This
file works on this OS as I have taken it to work.

I installed service pack 3 and thought that would fix things but
nothing. The macro worked for a while but now, again, nothing. It's
a macro that brings up 4 panes of FACEIDs. What is happening in this
installation is that after running the macro, I get just a blank page.
I searched around for another document of this type and found one but
it does the same thing. Macro security was changed to medium and
whenever prompted, I enable the macro. I don't see anything on the
screen but if I switch between documents, labelled Document1,
Document2, etc., the panes flicker into view for a fraction of a
second before disappearing.

I also have a launching freeware program that does bring up a start
window to launch programs from, but when a working entry is clicked
on, nothing happens. All these things worked for months/years in
Windows 98SE but are not working now. I know what is described is
hardly anything to go on, but hoping someone knows where I can hunt
around for a resolution to all this. I would still use my Windows
98SE if it weren't for the fact that 3 new programs I have won't work
in it and need minimum of Win2K!! I'm worried that this is what I've
found doesn't work but it might be a whole bunch of things down the
road that refuse to work and that's not right.

Thanks in advance for any help trying to get to the bottom of this.

Thanks. Not sure it was ever just a Word thing. I installed a new
Office version and the template seems to be working now <crossing
fingers>. Lots of little annoying issues like this with Win2K.
Everything I've been using worked fine for years on Win98SE, but Win2K
seems to have a lot of issues, current service pack or no! <g>

Thanks.
