Word shuts down and gives error code when deleting in dual screen

[Chris Mc]

I am using a Compaq notebook and have the secondary monitor contected to form
and extened screen. I open Ms Word 2003 and launch a document on both the
extended monitor(2) and the laptop monitor(1). I then go and highlight the
section I want to delete on the extended monitor(2) as soon as I highlight
and hit delete the program freezes. I then receive an error message stating
"Word has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for any
inconvienience". It is at this point Word closes my documents and then
restarts and shows them as being recovered.
****Attempted fixes******
(1)So far I have tried a seperate secondary monitor and it had the same
error. (2)I have tried working without the seconday and I have no problems at
all. (3)I have even tried to use another notebook a Fujitsu Lifebook and had
the same problem on it as well. (4) I have tried to uninstall and re-install
with the same results as well.

***********What am I missing, or overlooking? Please help.

How have you configured your monitors? Is the secondary monitor mirroring
the primary or are they seperate display contents? The only thing I can
think of is that the driver is at fault which you may want to look into
upgrading.

I have a Compaq at home with the same setup- I'll check it out tonight!
