Running Word 6.0 in windows XP (yeah I know its ancient),
never had a problem with it until now. When trying to
open, it starts to initialize then nothing happens,
getting message that says - 16 bit windows subsystem.
C:\docume~\hoyt\locals~1\temp\. a temporary file needed
for initialization could not be created or could not be
written to. make sure that the directory exsists and disk
space is available.
I tried to reinstall word and it wouldn't reinstall. It
is also not listed in my uninstall (add/remove programs)
registry so I can't uninstall word. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hoyt
