Reinstalling Word doesn't cure a problem with the NORMAL.DOT file.
Find and rename it to NORMAL.OLD then Word will likely just work.

When I try to open a second window in Word, running from Works Suite 2001, the whole system locks up, and I get the message "system dangerously low in resources" etc. Ctrl, alt, del sometimes gets me back to the desktop, but other times I have to unplug and start again. I've reinstalled Works & Word 2000SR1, but it all makes no difference. Other people have said this is a typical ME problem!! Anyone got any ideas, or do I reformat & start again, or upgrade to XP??!!
