Word Keeps Crashing Ahhhhh

[induct]

MS Word 2000 keeps crashing whenever I use it. I know it might be impossible for people to help but any help would be great.

I can put the error online if it helps.

If you could we'd be grateful.

What are you doing when it happens?

as a last resort you can use open office, www.openoffice.org, its free, and its rock solid and can import word docs, and also write to doc, so no problems with workflow.

last resort?

OpenOffice is my first resort!

It usually crashes within 10-20 Sec of starting program:



My Photoshop CS was (untill I went back to PS 7) doing the same thing, so it could be connected with the resorses. Have a look at what running and see if you can make sense of it:

Ed,

You probably should reinstall Word first, see if this helps.

[induct]

I've done that.

Do you think it could be a virus/worm even though I run Ad Aware and Norton regularly.

[kee-lo_]

No I don't think it's a virus

From Task Manager what on earth is VzFw.exe

It's Vaio Zone/Gigapocket or one of it's subprograms.
