49927 2002-05-21 06:45:00 I have Office 2000 operating in Win 98. Whenever I try to open a Word document the process does not complete. I see a message in the bottom right of the screen 'requesting virus scan' and the only way out is Ctrl/Alt/Del and I then get the message 'system dangerously low on resources.' All my other applications open fine. What's happening and how do I fix it? Guest (0)

You probably have a corrupted Normal.dot template, this is the default file Word uses to when it opens, if it becomes corrupted Word will no longer function.

The fix, run a search for all Normal.dot files, when found, delete them all, shutdown and restart your PC, Word will now automatically create a new normal.dot and your problem will be solved.

Regards
Alan
