Word just broke - I've had it a couple of years. It is part MS Office Standard 2003 on Windows XP Any document when opened causes an error message "Microsoft Office Word has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." It asks to send a report (I clicked to send), then it displays a message saying it failed to start correctly last time and asks if I want to open it in Safe Mode - if I click ok it will open is Safe Mode.



I ran repair from Control Panel, that did not help. I uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled MS Office Standard 2003 from my company website. That did not help - oddly Word did not get highlighted in Start / All Programs saying it was a new program while so others from Office did.

What else can I do to get Word to work?
