Running Vista home for about 2yrs using ms office 2003 w/o problems.
Recently (noticed about 3 wks ago), all of my ms office 2003 programs
(word, excel, ppt) began crashing when opened directly (i.e. double
click the desktop link or the program file .exe, or via the run
command). Within seconds I see MS has encountered an error and needs to
close (see word error code below as an example). Word will not open in
safe mode or w/o add-ins, excel will only open in safe mode (/s), but
not w/o add-ins (/a). However, if I double-click a previously saved
office file (ppt, excel or word), the program opens the file fine with
no problems yet identified (except regarding endnote described below).
I can also start a new blank document just fine once I have opened a
previous document. Also, I can open word by double clicking the
normal.dot template.
Things I've tried to no avail:
1) ms office updates (sp3)
2) vista updates (including sp2)
3) deleting the word template (normal.dot) (which would only fix word)
4) changing the word template location
5) changing to different default printers
6) detect and repair, reset default settings
7) lowering macro security settings and deleting the list of trusted
publishers
8) disabling firewall (ZA) and AV (nod32) from startup
9) ms word has a support template to fix things. the file opens but
the macros crash once clicked
10) uninstall, delete all mention of office from program files, app
data, registry, and re-install
11) No add-ins are listed. I had endnote X installed, but word
disabled it. I've since uninstalled it to no avail. After
re-installing it, word will disable it.
12) Perusing google, web forums, ms office web page, etc. for
suggestions to try.
