Ctl+Alt+Del brings up a message saying the system resources are too low. The only recourse is to switch the machine off. Running Win Me and Office 2000 small business on a PIII with 64Mb RAM and >15Gb free disk space. Have reinstalled both Me and Office. No new software has been installed and no other application appears to be affected, including Excel etc. Any suggestions? All assistance greatfully received.	Guest (0)

To fix, just do a search on your system for all Normal.dot files when found delete them, Word will now recreate Normal.dot next time it loads and everything will be back to normal ( may pay to reboot after deleting ) Alan	Guest (0)
