I have 3 computers networked. 1 laptop with XP, 1 desktop with XP, and 1 desktop with 98SE.
The other day on the laptop I could not use word. I would open it and after about 5 seconds it would come up with the send error report window and it would shut down. I tried reinstalling word, it still happened. I tried repairing windows, it still happened. I had to do a full reinstall to get word working again. Now on my desktop I just tried to use word and the same thing is happening to me. I don't know if its happening on the laptop again or not, I will have to go test it. The desktop computer has AVG anti-virus and the laptop has norton. Both updated frequently.
I'm thinking its a virus because it just happened all of the sudden. And on both computers. Its Word 97 by the way.
EDIT: It is happening on the laptop again. And it was working fine when I reinstalled XP 2 days ago. I tested it before I installed the wireless card.
