I am a computer novice. I don't have Office icon on my start up screen, so I'm not sure what you are talking about. Also where do I find "Event Viewer" ? Thank you
1 - Start - Run - msconfig
Click on startup Tab. Look for ms office 2000 and uncheck it, to keep it from loading at startup time.
2 - Event Viewer - Right click my computer, click manage, click Event Viewer.
Then click each tab and look for red X errors at time you shutdown.
Unfortunately, the errors are pretty cryptic, as Billy Gates thinks everyone is a GD Computer programmer !
:lol: - But there may be a hint as to the problem.
