Hi:
Since early in February, Word 2000 does not respond at all. For this
I attempted to rescue/cure the issue numerous times, however it's still the
same,
..... Not Responding' error message, hence I am NOT able to access Word 2000.

Wonder if I would bring the PC with Vista to the Factory State by
re-installing
Vista using 'restored disks/HP,' the Word 2000 could be rescued to its
original
state?

BTW, the other IDs in the same PC have NO issue at all. They are able to
access the Word 2000 right after clicking Icon of Word 2000 on the desktop.
Only mine, Administrator has this issue.

Also, recalling back, .... the issue, above started after Linsky Wireless
Adaptor
failed to connect my ISP, Comcast. What's connection in between them?

Thanks for any help.
 
If you run those recovery disks, you take out ALL the other Accounts as well
as your own!!!!!
Don't do it!
 
Thanks for the responses.

Creating 'Additional Administrator' is very interesting to
say, ... because I thought ONLY one administrator.

If the Word 2000 works on, I would like to do anything.

Wonder how to create 'Additional Administrator' if that would
cure the issue.

Thanks,

No, of course not. Any copy of Word 2000 would have had to have been
installed by you after you purchased the computer and brought it home.
It certainly wouldn't be part of the HP Recovery disk image.

What happens when you simply unistall Word and then re-install if from
the original CD that was used for the first installation?

Uninstall/Install does not work at all. It seems Registry got lost or
something missing in order to open and run Word 2000 which I installed after
purchase of the PC with Vista.

This afternoon, I contacted the HP through an e-mail and got a very
good response to this issue.

Since I love Word 2000 because of long-time user, I need to switch to
another ID which Word 2000 runs very smoothly. It's reserved as my
second e-mail address. Also, I made it as Administrator. I plan to
import all e-mails accumulated in my old ID to the new ID/Spare.

According to the HP tech., it's more likely 'Registry' got wrecked or
something missing in order to open and run Word 2000. For this, at first,
Recovery Manager/HP was suggested, but this route makes me a lot of
work, because there are many programs in my ID.

Hopefully, everything goes smoothly, although my next concern is my
old 'profile' which I want to import, too.

It could be that Word2000 on your account is trying to open a document
or add-in that is corrupt. You might search your document files for any
document that start with ~, these are temp docs that sometimes are the
sources of these kind of Office problems. You might also try opening
word by holding down the control (CTRL) key, right-click the Word icon,
select Open. This will prevent Word from opening any add-ins or default
documents.
