Post subject: Running ME, Word 2000 does not start, endless hourglass then too low resources message Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsme>general (more info?)
I'm running windows me and word 2000.
Just now when i click to start word i only get the Word Box and the
hourglass and it freezes the system and never loads. If i ctr,alt del
i get a message that resources are too low.
When I reboot all the other programs seem to be working fine.
I do not have a stand alone copy of word, it came intergrated in the
packaged with all the dell software stuff.
I not a total newbe but i have a little knowledge or this computer so
if anyone can offer some simple instructions on what may be wrong and
how i may go about trying to fix it i would appreciate it.

Just a guess but I suspect your problem could be caused by a damaged Word
template file. Using Windows Explorer look for files named NORMAL.DOT and
rename to NORMAL.BAK. Now try starting Word. If that solves the problem
a new default template file will automatically be recreated and you can
delete the files you renamed.
See MS KB 307814 - "WD: Error Message: System Is Dangerously Low on
Resources" (http://support.Microsoft.com?kbid=307814).

thank you for your response. for whatever reason i went through ms
works, i was able to access word through works, create and save a
document, after that i was able to go straight to word without having
to start works.
thanks again, good knowing there was someone out there who could help
