Loop

[Peter]

I'm using MS Office Pro2003. It has been running without any problems but
suddenly I have a loop. I open Word and get that irritating message that a
problem has been encountered and needs to close repeated over and over. I
have removed the Word installation and re-installed to no avail as it just
comes back again.
What is the best way to break the loop and deal with this problem. Many
thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion. However the problem solved itself.
I removed WORD and reinstalled to no avail. Removed the files which it
seemed might have caused the problem. Still no luck.
Some time later I was checking a website for a Form to download and print.
Printer wouldn't work. On checking found I suddenly had two extra printers
installed. I removed these fictitious printers and then I was able to print
normally.
Went back to my problem and found to my surprise I no longer had a problem.
Word is back to normal. I have no idea why a printer should affect the
opening of Word but somehow it did.
