Cant get into Word

Recently, after my teenage (say no more!!!) daughter was
doing some homework on my PC, I could not open my saved
Word documents. I repaired it on the install/remove which
asked me to put in the Office 2000 disc. I wasnt sure if
this was right as I have Windows XP on my machine.
However I did this and it allowed me to create a new
document but I was only partly succesful at opening saved
Word documnets. When I opened a previously saved document
it had a lot of straight lines on it where the text
should be. After that working session I closed dowen as
usual. On restarting the next day the whole thing was
back to square one!

On opening the word programme I get and ERROR window
saying "(null) this is not a valid Win32 application"

If I go into MY DOCUMENTS and open an existing document
it just blinks and does nothing. I also get other erroe
messages when the machine is booting up after switching
on.

I need this sorting as I am only just starting my own
business and I need to write Quotes and letters.

I did have the Blaster Worm virus some weeks ago which I
repaired AND removed. The machine has worked fine for
weeks until now. I would be very grateful if someone
could help me in PLAIN ENGLISH as I am not compute minded
at all! ! !

Thanks in advance
