Word 2000 Freezes on start

[D. Meyers]

All of a sudden when I try to open Word 2000 my desktop
computer freezes. Doesn't matter whether I open it using
the icon or by going through "Start, programs, Word".
Have reinstalled the program, but still freezes the
computer.

Any suggestions please?

Thanks,
DM

Scan your PC with an external virus scanner,
e.g. on www.antivirus.com ("free online scan").

Try renaming "normal.dot" file to "normal.old" and then Start Word.
