I got a new computer yesterday, a dual CPU Athlon. After I boot and
look in the task manager, WINWORD.EXE is taking up most or all of one
CPU (close to or equal to 50%). I have a free trial of Office, and
that is where Word is, and its exe is WINWORD.EXE. I can't figure out
how to keep WINWORD from loading each time. I've looked in
MSCONFIG/start and I don't see it there. I can kill it in task
manager, but I'd rather have it not start.

Any ideas of how to fix this?

Contact the distributor who gave you a free trial of Office.

It is a 60-day student/teacher version that came with the computer. I
started it up and activated it, rebooted, and that seems to have
solved the problem.
