After a reinstall of Win2K and Office 2000 the following occurs every time I try to open my word-docs:

Message:
"Would you like to return to the saved version of [doc-name]?"

This despite the doc is opened directly and no other 'user' is sharing it with me. Clicking no generates a fault at once, clicking yes generates a fault as soon as a copy/paste operation is performed:

"DDE Server Window: WINWORD.EXE - Application Error : The instruction at "0x034a6fd8" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read"."

And word has to be shut down.

The DOC-files ar my old ones - all created before the clean reinstall of the OS. They were kept on a logical partition and only the system partition was formatted at the reinstall. I assumed the OS would rebuild the index and so on for the files, and though a new and updated security policy has been set for the doc-files, these errors continue.

Is it a security-issue? a file system issue? what is the DDE exactly? can I tune and set the DDE behavoiur somewhere?
