My MS Word 2000 crashes at launch for me, but if I logon as another user on same XP Pro machine, it works fine. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but that doesn't solve the problem. I checked and eliminated spyware, but no good. I'm not sure what to try next, and would truly appreciate any ideas. I do not remember installing any new software recently, so have no idea what started this problem. Short of a total reformat and reinstall of XP and all software, I don't know what I can try next. Ideas appreciated, Padaas
