I am running Office 2K, SR-1a and SP3, on Windows 2K, SP4. When using Word,
the computer will freeze after typing only 2-5 sentences an I will have to
reboot. Other software, such as WordPad, games, Internet Explorer and
Outlook run without trouble.

Background: I have been using this software combination for several years
without trouble. Due to a system crash I had to reformat drive C: and
reinstall all software. I have since reformatted and reinstalled several
times without resolving the problem. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can
resolve this problem.
