In news:675B63B3-052C-46CF-B022-15C9D5A6C5CC@xxxxxxxxxxxxx,
VMH <VMH@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
I have XP running. I have a regular user and a limited user (for the
kids). When logged on (regardless of the only log on or via fast
switching) the limited user cannot use Word. It appears that it is
going to install or re-install (even though it is already installed),
then Word will open but so does an error message which says "...no longer
functioning properly. Run Setup & Repair ". I tried that to no avail. I
even uninstalled MS Office and completely reinstalled it, also to no
avail. Word is NOT open under the regular user when I am trying all of
this.

Running: XP Pro Sp2 (all updates)
MS Word 2002 SP3

I need Word for the kids to use for homework and I do not want to have
them logged on as a full user!

Thanks in advance for any assistance
