Re: Windows shuts down when copying text into Word

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Norton often causes problems, and a number of users have reported problems
pasting from Yahoo as well, but also see “Word 2003 unexpectedly quits, and
you receive an error message when you paste text that is from a Web page to
a Word 2003 document” at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=890258

Hi,

My problem: When I attempt to copy and paste the text of email I've sent
into a Word file, the screen shows me the hourglass (wait) symbol for
about a
minute, and then Windows shuts down--and the text does not get copied.

Possible clue: This is occurring on a new computer, which has Norton
Internet Security, and I use AT&T Yahoo DSL which may have its own
security
features, too.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated,
Michael
