It has the usual cure.

I have WindowsME. Used Word then computer froze, since then everytime I try to access Word, computer freezes again. After pressing Ctl Alt & Del, message appears that Sytems Resources are Dangerously Low. WINWORD not responding. I have ran Scan Disk, Disk Cleanup, Disk Frag and deleted Cookies and Temp files....but to no avail. If anyone can help with this it would be greatly appreciated.
