winword caused GP fault in USER.EXE

[Guest]

My Word for Windows in Office 200 freezes when I try to open anything. An
error message saying: 'Winword caused a general protection fault in module
USER.EXE at 0007:00005744' appeared once. How do I restore the programme?

Well, I don't know about Office 200 - what actual version? Might have more
help in an Office newsgroup. Also, make sure you update Office via Windows
Update ---> Office Update. A Detect & Repair (from the help menu in Word)
might help, too - just make sure you have your installation media handy.
