Hi guys:
I use Word a lot and would like to correct this error because it pops up everytime I open a Word document. When I click on a Word document icon, the program goes through the errors listed below and opens in the Safe Mode. The document I clicked on is ignored, so I have to go to File Open and find it to bring it in. It's a pain in the neck. Here is my overview.
I recently installed Windows XP Pro on my computer. Every aspect of the OS is fine. I then loaded up my MS Office 2002 or 2003. All the programs other than Word are working fine. Here's what Word is doing:
When I open it, it begins to open normally and then it says:
Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
The information you were working on might be lost. Microsoft Word can try to recover it for you.
... Recover my work and restart word. ( The 3 dots represent a box you can put a check mark in. It only allows me to leave a check mark in it to have Word then open in Safe Mode. )
If I remove the check mark I get the error:
Word failed to start correctly last time. Starting Word in Safe Mode will help you correct or isolate a start up problem in order to successfully start the program. Some fuctionality may be disabled in this mode. Do you want to start in Safe Mode.
Yes or No
If I say, "No" the first error I typed above comes up again.
I did try unistalling MS Office entirely and reloading it. It still gives me the same errors.
I noticed this problem after I did an import of my e-mail addresses and messages to Outlook from Outlook Express. I don't think this had anything to do with the MS Word errors but thought it worth mentioning.
Thanks for your help,
John
