WORD shutsdown everytime i open it?

[pdotd]

hey,

im runnign window xp, and i have office xp aswell....but whenever i open up Word, i get one of those microsoft "send error" prompt boxes...and then Word just shuts down every single time.

now i have tried uninstalling MS Office and then tried re-installing it, but i still get the same problem. i had a bloodhound virus, but i removed it...and now i am clear of all viruses (that i know of) and i do have norton up to date.

so any suggestions would be great to fix this problem

Don't know. Sounds scary. Try running winword.exe /r from a command line. If winword.exe is not in the PATH varaiable (and these days it seems it rarely is), navigate the command line to the Office folder that does have winword.exe and run it with the /r switch there.

Do not know if that will do anything, or not. The /r switch starts Word in the background, and re-registers it in the Registry, then quits. Who knows? It may work.

Other than that...

Word troubleshooting will fix it. Take the steps until it does:
