Word 2003 Just Stopped Opening

[razor]

Hello--

I really can't say why, but for some reason I can no longer open Word. The
splash screen just freezes. Excel and Outlook are fine.

Here is the event log I get each time. I tried repair and then reinstall and
neither worked. After I have to end the process to close the Word splash
screen and then try to open Word again, I can open it in safe mode.

I am running Word 2003 with SP3 on Windows Vista Business SP1.

Hello Stephen,

You've landed in a discussion group for users of Mac versions of Word (not
your fault: it's a charming foible of MS's "discussions" web interface,
which I see you used). Mac versions differ variously from PC versions.
Although several people here use both PCs and Macs and may give you an
answer soon, it's likely that more people in a PC group have experienced
your specific problem. Here's where all the groups are listed:
