apologies if this has been resolved before.

I have office 2000pro running on win98 and xp.
In both cases WORD halts when trying to bring up an interaction window
(ie 'save as'). The top bar and the corresponding button on the taskbar
flash. This can only be stopped by either:
a) using device manager to stop the program which then brings up the
interaction window.
b) click on office assistant twice.

This happens on both machines. It was running fine on the 98 box for a
long time, starting to play up about 4 months ago. It started to play up
on the xp laptop as soon as I installed it. The other applications in
Office work fine.

Any Ideas?

Thanks
