Word 2003 Just Stopped Opening

[Razor7Tech]

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.

Maybe try renaming your normal.dot file to normal.old?
