Word 97/Win 98(FE) Lock up?
Word 97/Win 98(FE) Lock up?
(OP)
Hi,
I'm having troublwe with my Word 97 program. When ever I goto shut down Word it will usually cause a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) with different errors. When I reboot my machine it goes to a DOS screen saying the the machine is ready to shut down ctrl-alt-del to reboot. If I boot with a boot disk and then sys c:, then boot to hard drive, and then run windows I get a vfat error. if I then boot to floppy and copy back my original msdos & io .sys files the machine will run. Someone here at work had tried to install th Office sr2 patch(first one, the one the pulled from their site) and since then this has happened.
I've tried un-installing and re-installing office, but no luck. Any ideas?
Thanks.

I will try your solution on Monday. I will let you know what happens either way.
I did read about early Office 97 SR1 not being fully compatible with Win98 and SR2. I may have to resort to re-installing Win98.

I need to import ascii files into word and use Arial 11 as the font.
Thanks.

I think I've got it working finally. I had to boot to DOS, remove both win98 & MS Office 97 exe, dll, vxd files, then re-installed both. I had to rid my computer of that SR2 release 1 patch that someone had installed on my machine.
Everything works now. I just have to fix up some minor losses here and there.
I would like to see your solution, so you please email it to me.
Thanks.
