I posted my original message in the Office App board, but figured you all could probably provide a better solution/answer.
My original message is titled something like "Word Processing". Please check it for all details.
Basically, I just bought a new great laptop (2.4ghz, 512mb RAM, 40mb HD, etc). I installed MS Office 2000, and recently noticed that most of the aps are coming up with errors now for no reason. I get errors like (according to DrWatson logs):
App: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\WINWORD.EXE (pid=160)
When: 12/11/2002 @ 19:46:22.091
Exception number: c0000005 (access violation)
Full error report for the above is in a TXT file at:

An image of the error I see as it "crashes" is:

I have so far received this type of error in: MS Works, MS Word, MS Publisher, Wordpad, and some MS Photo viewer.
Any help to solve the problem is GREATLY appreciated. I will note however that the following MS Office 2000 apps have yet to have problems: Frontpage 2000, MS Excel, MS Access, MS Outlook, and MS Powerpoint.
Thanks in advance for you help!
