Word crashes when I attempt to insert picture from file.

[aw]

When I attempt to insert a picture from a file (before I even get a chance to
click on the picture I want to insert), I get the annoying error message that
"Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry
for the inconvenience." I have closed and restarted Word numerous times, and
I have also rebooted my computer. The only other thing I can think of to do
is to reload Word. Any other suggestions as to what might cause this? (I am
using Word 2003.) aw
