Unable to open Microsoft Word documents

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

Does typing in Start Run
winword /a
allow word to start.

If you change printers (just install any printer that's different - you don't need the printer to install the drivers) does that help.

Sorry for the delay in replying. Yes it does open Windows word. And allows me to type. But then after about 30 seconds I get the same problem described before.
Regarding printers and drivers, this computer has yet to have a printer installed or attached to it.
Please let me know what else you think it is.
Regards,
Wilbur
