MS word cannot start properly after installing Office 2003 Service

[kikodudu]

Dear All

SOS! the Office 2003 Service Pack 3 (SP3): MAINSP3 was installed via auto
update onto my computer.

After that MS word cannot start up as per normal. The error message
gernerated is : "MS Office Word has encountered a problem and need to close.".

After checking the box "Recover my work and restart MS Office Word" the
programme can only start in the SAFE mode, in which many functions cannot be
used.

I have done the following:

1. Reboot my system. Same Problem occured.

2. Uninstalled and reinstalled MS Office 2003. I tried to cancel the auto
update but it comes back itself. I have done this procedure 5 times!

Really really appreciate if someone can advise me as to what to do? I am
extremely dependent on MS Word for my work .......

Have a nice day and hope to hear from someone soon!

Thanks for your advise.... but i have seen this prior to posting this
question. It is not specific to my problem. The problem occurred only after
installing Office 2003 Service Pack 3.

Please can someone give me some help?

thanks!

But you have only followed a fraction of the suggested fixes in the FAQ. If
Word starts in Safe Mode, there is nothing wrong with Word as such: it is
something else and that FAQ should find the problem.

Hi.. Kiko

Iam Sunil from Bangalore (India.. )

You can try the following stpes..

1. first let me know in which user name your are logging in..
2. If Administrator .. Kindly creat a new account like admin.. & log in...
3. this process is nothing but changing the profile..
4. or els log on to different user & rename administrator
5. iam very much sure that it'll work in a different profile..

Hope this information helped you a lot..

Have a nice day..
