I have posted before but could not find my original post,
so please forgive me if this sounds familiar. I am
continuing to have problems with MS Word 2000 locking up.
After working in the program for a while, all of a sudden
a long white box will appear, about 2.5 x 8 inches, and it
will give only one option, and that is "close." It
normally never has an error message, just the white box.
However, today, I noticed that this error box appeared
while browsing in IE, and MS Word was not even open. So
now I'm not sure if it is a Word problem. My IE version
is 6.0. I am operating on Windows Me and have the
following programs installed.....Norton SystemWorks 2004,
Norton Internet Security (latest version), SpySweeper
(latest version), along with a few other programs. Seems
to me like all the problems started when I purchased these
programs a few months back to protect from all the
viruses, spyware, adware, etc. Anybody else having this
problem or know what I should do? It is very aggravating
to lose work in MS Word. It is like I am timed, and if I
am not out of the program by a certain time it locks up.
Thanks so much for any help.

G'day "lisa" <[email protected]>,

SpySweeper et al don't run unless you invoke them - but Norton's...
let's say there are a host of known problems with Nortons.
