Hello, I am using office 2007 and get the error below.
I tried to find normal.dot but nothing found.
Only normal.dotm found, deleted it but still failed.


Word failed to start correctly last time. Starting Word in safe mode will
help you correct or isolate a startup problem to successfully start the
program. Some functionality may be disabled in this mode.
Do you want to start Word in safe mode?


Thanks for your help.
 
If I click no, the word restarts and the message pops up again.
I followed you web page's instructions but I can't delete all temp files
because windows disallowed for deleting some files.

What should I do?

Thanks
 
If all instances of Word are closed (check by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL and look
for winword.exe) then you should be able to delete all relevant temporary
files. If in doubt reboot first. Leave the ones in the temp folder that
Windows has locked.

With that out of the way it is the second link that provides the
troubleshooting information. Work through the tips provided, with particular
reference to add-ins and the data key in the registry.

That depends whether removing the temporary files fixed the problem

I don't know much about the inner workings of PowerPoint - ask in a
PowerPoint forum.
