WINWORD Won't Word!
Here's a mystery...
Returned to the home office PC today to write a letter and tried to open Word from the desktop shortcut. The system locked up and I got an error message saying the computer was running dangerously low on resources and did I want to terminate the programme that was not responding. However, everything was frozen so the only way out was Control Alt Delete.
I'm runningWindows ME on a Dell Dimension L800CXE.
I checked the resources in the System tool of the Control Panel and that says I had 90% free.
Also, I tried opening a new word document through the Microsoft Works portfolio and that worked fine. From there it was also possible to open other previously created word documents from files.
However, trying to open any Word document in a file or on the desktop by clicking on the icon for it causes the same problem. As does tring to open from the winword.exe ico in the programme file.
I'm not aware of anything that's happened to cause this glitch and at the end of the day it is still possible to use Word but slightly more cumbersome to open documents.
Any ideas ?
Many thanks
