Another question on "Microsoft has stopped working"
"Stephen St. Denis" <scstdenis[ at ]gmail.com> 12/30/2008 4:00:19 PM
I have read through several forums and articles from Microsoft Help and
Support. I have tried the suggested solutions with no sucess.

This error occurs both for Word 2003 and Word 2007 in the Microsoft Office
Professional suite on a single user Vista Home Premium x64 machine. Both
versions were not installed at the same time. Excel 2007 has the same
behavior. Word works in safe mode, but I cannot open a file.
The problems started occurring shortly after installing Norton Internet
Security 2009, although I can't see any connection. All updates and
Service Pack 1 have been applied.

Specifically, this is what I have tried:

- Delete the Options and Addin keys in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\Word
- Run Repair from the disc.
- Run the diagnostic program with no errors. It says that to complete the
processs, I need a file which will be downloaded within the next week. What
file and why can't I download it now?
- Uninstall Office 2007, clean the registry, reinstall Office 2007.
- Make sure the Word\STARTUP under my Roaming profile is empty.
- Verified that my Canon printer driver works.
There are two strange things:
- There is no Word Data registry key to rename.
- When I rename the Normal template, a new one is not created.

Any assistance would be much apppreciated since I've been trying to fix this
for a week.

(It's a good thing Microsoft doesn't build planes. They would be falling
out of the sky like flies.)

Have you disabled the Office plug-in in Norton AV options? Have you
installed a compatible printer driver and made it the default printer?
