Win98 and Office

[me]

Hi Guys this one is weird!!!
Went to a friends place cos Word would not open, and system just froze out
!!

System is full licence job and all software is legit!
I uninstall Office 200 Small business and put on old copy of Word 97 and it
all works fine!
Grabbed Office 200 and installed over --- Same thing Crash and burn!!
Uninstalled office and put Word97 back on everything fine -- PC is ok ram
seem good HDD not doing anything odd.
Can you enlighten me or is this a Twilight Zone one?

Try the Office group and mention your version of Word or Office.

Check the name of your Office first as it may be Office 2000, not 200
