Hi Mr Deez,

Try the approaches suggested here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/921541 and
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...artingWord.htm
for various series of troubleshooting steps that will help you track down (and hopefully solve) the problem.



PS: AFAIK, there's no such thing as 'Windows 7 starter', but there is an Office 2010 Starter edition.
