Need Help Please : Microsoft WORD " not responding" and OE FREEZES
I open my OE mail, then open the Word attachment, so far fine. Then I try to copy the text of the word doc onto another email from OE that I am about to send.... that's when 2 things happen: 1. my OE FREEZES 2. and it say Microsoft WORD " not responding" So I cannot cut and paste the Word doc. The Word doc is only 4 pages long. I checked my PC I have 192 RAM 75% free I have a Win Me and 20GB and 750 Mhz Intel CPU. I did a scandisk, defrag and AVG virusscan. Still same problem. Why is this happening ? Can anyone pls. help me. I am NOT TECHNICAL. Thanks in advance Kim |

Hi
1. I CANNOT copy the text of the Word doc. The hour glass is on the screen forever in the new doc and nothing gets pasted. I cannot copy and paste from one word document to another. 2. I can copy text from OE and paste it to another message in OE. This works fine. Based on the above, it seems like there is something wrong with MS Word.Don't you think ? Can anyone PLEASE help me ?.

Have you read my message and deleted/renamed all copies of NORMAL.DOT as I
suggested? If yes and it did not solve the problem then please say so otherwise those who might be in a position to help you will not know what you have tried and what not. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP kim shapiro wrote: Hi 1.

I do not know what I did but now I can copy text from a Word doc to another.
The side effect is that the word doc that is opened creates an icon on my desktop. Everytime I open the same Word doc, the more icons of the same I get on my desktop. Any suggestions on how to solve this ? Thanks "Mike M" wrote in message ... Have you read my message and deleted/renamed all copies of NORMAL.DOT as I suggested?

Kim are you using Noton(symantec)antivirus? If you are the was a problem
about 6 months ago when there security certificate expired that caused word and other applications to hang like you mention. I have not heard of this problem recently. Have you tryed disabling Norton if you are using it. After you disable it including the realtime scan, try word,etc but don't rebppy becuse Norton will start again. If this fixes it junk Norton (I did) and try AVG, AVAST or CA's etrust anti virus progams any of the three work. The first two have a free version, I don't know if CA is still offering a year of EZArmour(AV & Firewall)still but the etrust version from CA is only $29. around here.
