need help with Word

[SlushboxTeggy]

what do these two messages mean?

im on a computer at work and ive been trying to type 2 pages for an hour now because this keeps interupting me.

the computer works fine when i do anything else but now i literally open Word and it says its not responding.


and this is the error report:
C:\DOCUME~1\hornac27\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER88c9.dir00\WINWORD.EXE.mdmp
C:\DOCUME~1\hornac27\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER88c9.dir00\appcompat.txt

Looks like something is wrong with the virtual memory. Maybe something's not allowing Word to create a temp file?

Have you tried just rebooting? I know that seems stupid, but I have had virtual memory errors like that, not exactly like that, but I just reset the pc, and everything acted normal, don't ask me why... I'm definitely not the windows wizard.

.mdmp means minidump... it means it crashed... Are you running IIS or any kind of sharing software?

It also could be some kind of virus has manipulated space in the directory that the file/temp file was saved to...

Try making your signature longer... maybe that will help...

Open the word document with Wordpad. Then "save as" the document with another name. Try rebooting one more time and then try opening the newest saved file with word (if you must use word). If you dont' need word and can work under workpad, finish off your work using workpad then...

good luck

not sure if you can make indented bullets in wordpad though.

i know you can make regular ones.
