All machines are running Windows 98, but I honestly don't know how much use Office gets on the other machines. This is a brand new setup - NT network with PII Win 98 workstations. Odd thing is, I am running win 98 with Office 97 on my own machine and have not ever had this error message. Video drivers might be a good clue - I am noticing more and more problems with the Jaton Trident card - which happens to be in the machines which are having problems. I'll try. Thanks...

those machines had the 4mb cards. I got new updated drivers which solved the problem on those machines - however, I did have another machine elsewhere using the same card, with the new drivers which didn't work. have quite using the Jaton card as a basic and gone to the Diamond Speedstar, which I really like so far...Thanks for the help!
