Ever since a recent autorecovery, my Word 2007 now hangs on startup, although it works fine on another user profile on the same computer. I've tried copying a different Normal template (from the profile of a different user) but that hasn't helped. I'm reluctant to totally remove and reinstall because of macros and add-

Word 2007 temporarily freezes to the point that I cannot use it when I do certain things like click on text box and have to wait for the list of templates to be shown. I have to open task manager which makes the list go away, but the next time I click on text box it works normally. This happens on other things where theres similar pretty list of things.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have built up a new system...been running perfectly since August 2008.
2 nights ago I had just finished an update to itunes and some other apple software which required a restart. Upon restart, the system hung while booting.didn't get to the user account log-in screen.it froze with a blackscreen with the mouse cursor sitting there in the middle.
I have done the following things and observed the following behaviour:I have not added any hardware to the system Windows Update has doing automatic updates the systems boots and runs perfectly in safe mode with networking I have reverted to a couple of different restore points prior to installing the apple software...no change I have disabled all non-Microsoft software from starting up via Windows Defender...no change I can get the system to boot to where it displays the user accounts login screen. When I click on an account and enter the password it will hang at that point. Mouse continues to respond but no further response. Disk drive light goes solid but no sound of the disk operating If at the user account log in screen I select to shut the system down it will hang during shutdown checking the event logs shows a range of various fatal errors.I can provide more info on this at later posts if needed but the messages look quite similar to other posts given for a range of different behaviours so I am not sure which if any are relevant. Booting to the Vista CD and doing a repair found no errors. In short, my perfectly happy and functioning system has suddenly gone mental for no obvious reason.
I've been having major troubles getting my Vista 64-bit box to start up reliably.
Symptoms: During startup my Vista 64-bit machine unexpectedly "powers off" and the power button, reset button, and power switch stop working until I unplug the power cable on the back and plug it back in.
Workaround: If I boot into safe mode first, I can usually reboot back into Windows normally.
Triggers: This doesn't happen every time, although usually after Windows Update forces me to reboot it will happen. There was a power outage today and it took several reboots and unplugging the computer to get it to boot again afterwards.
Other issues: Lately when I try to put Vista to sleep, it doesn't always go into low power mode and seems to just leave everything on. Sometimes it never sleeps and goes back to the login screen immediately.
When the system dies, it usually makes this high-pitched whining noise just beforehand that I think may be the CPU - this noise happens on every boot, whether successful or not, but might be a clue about what triggers the power-off.
A have few problems with my fresh Vista Ultimate 64bit OS. Sometimes boot takes too long, hard restart than it boots up. In many cases explorer.exe hangs/freezes at sturtup, a have to manually end the process then restart it. Some programs started from quicklunch have a 30+ sec.delay. In start menu it takes years to get to an entry (for example MS office group to open...), a search indicator is shown instead of icon and it hangs too. When watching any video file mplayer classic freezez (like the old school w98 freez, sound shakes, screen stops..) for a few secs than it continues.
Downloaded VLC player, it wokrs for now... but this isn't the solution anyway. I use VistaCodecPack with 64bit components. In normal use I have 60 processes in background (at the moment there are 14 svchost.exe-s and 8 control.exe-s ?!!?!?). One antivir is running, I am behind HW firewal and windows firewall is on.. These are my problems with this fresh install. I didn't had any trouble at install, in 50minutes I had the OS on th go with drivers installed.I have tried the sfc /scannow tip > Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations, hmm.. Had a multiboot befor : XP + Vista + win7beta, I just get rid of it..thought Vista is the right joise for my hardware at the moment. I don't know what to do with these problems, if someone has any idea, please give me an advice what should I try.
I use word 2007 and have recently installed Vista. Since doing this people can't open my word attachments.
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhat am I mistakenly activating in Word 2007 that causes a small superscripted zero to appear to the left of some punctuation marks - colons, question marks, quotes etc. It's extremely perplexing and irritating to have to keep getting rid of them. (And what purpose do they serve anyway??? Why would anyone WANT them?)
View 9 Replies View RelatedI tried doing the same as in 'Word has stopped working' and it did not work for me. I have Vista Home Premium 32 bit and I have Office 2007 (licensed). For a few months Word was working fine and one not-so-fine-day it decided to work errantly. It opens up fine but
- the scroll up and down button stopped working, (also the scroll-bar)
- does not open a word file if the file icon is clicked,
- when I click the Office-button and then 'Word-Options' the options like 'Trust Center' etc do not work. These do not even get the focus when mouse moves over it
- When I close word. It consistently pops up 'Word has stopped working' I guess this has something to do with user-interface icons, buttons etc. I have installed, re-installed Word and also all HP drivers..
I have a problem finding Word 2007 files from the Search field in Windows Explorer. Example: I have a file named "test.docx" in "My Documents", and I can see that file right in the Windows Explorer window. However, if I type, say ".docx", or "test", in the Search field in the top right-hand corner of Explorer, the search comes up empty. I can,however, get the search function to find the file if I: use the Search item on the Start Menu use the "Advanced Search" options in Windows Explorer, and have it search all indexed locations use the "Advanced Search" options in Windows Explorer, and have it search in non-indexed locations, hidden and system files
This problem only seems to exist with .docx files, so this may actually be an issue of the Office 2007 indexer rather than Vista. It looks like the Word indexer does not properly store the location information of the file. Oh, and the problem I have may or may not be related to the fact that on my system I have (of course) relocated the My Documents folder to a separate partition. Are others seeing this, too? Is there a fix for this?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have searched numerous threads and google/yahoo searches for my continuing issues with MS Word 2007 Spell Checker. Spell Checker no longer identifies spelling errors yet grammar correction remains. I have tried registry tweaks and carefully examining the proofing options within Word 2007. I do not have a previous version for a custom install so that is not an option. Spell Check functions fine in ppt and xls but not in Word anymore. If a Word fix is not available are there any free spell checkers that will function inside a word document?

I have been asked this many times following up on the blog entry Installing Office 2003 and Office 2007 on the same system where once people have removed the problem with the End User Licensing Agreement (EULA) appearing every time they start Office they then get the dialogs below every time they switch between Word 2007 and Word 2003. when starting Word 2003 when starting Word 2007 The fix to the problem is very simple as it turns out - simply run the following commands (by pressing the Windows Key+R or typing it into the Start/Run command box.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have just puchased my first Windows Vista computer - an HP laptop. I have purchased at leat five laptops since 2000 so I am familiar with setup and
comfortable with installations etc. I have three questions here.
1. My last computer had Windows XP and an 80 gb hard drive with 70 gb full - After copying the data only (55 GB) to my new 250 gb hard drive I have only 107 GB remaining of the 222 GB C drive partition. I have not yet added many programs. That tells me that Vista must be using 50-60 GB or more of the drive. Can that be correct?
2. My new computer takes 5-6 minutes to start up. After two minutes I get the welcome screen. Then the monitor goes black for a full two minutes before continuing the startup process. Is this normal for Vista?
3. Occasionally the monitor goes dark for a few seconds and a window pops up saying the display driver has failed but is back. Is this normal?
I certainly gained no speed with this new computer. There are many things I like about Vista. Since I have no previous experience with owning it I am trying to sort out if this computer is a lemon that should be returned or if I should just put up with the downside.
The last couple of days I had a few times a startup error. It said something like Windows couldn't start normally. Run Startup Recovery (Recommended) Start Windows Normally. I did the Startup Recovery and then it worked again but the next day or so the same thing, otherwise my system runs fine.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI just purchased a Toshiba A205-7464 laptop before Christmas and have been having a problem lately with the wireless internet hanging on me.
I will be online for a certain period of time, sometimes hours, sometimes 10 minutes. I will try to go to a website, not always the same one, and IE will just hang, no graphics will come up, the green bar just stops halfway through and it just hangs. I get no error page or anything but in order to get it working again, I have to reboot. It is really starting to tick me off because it is starting to happen more frequently. I have uninstalled McAfee and installed my own Security Software (CA Suite).
Here are some stats on my PC:...
I have a recurring problem in that my computer randomly will freeze and become non responsive(though I can move the mouse during these freezes). When clicking on a link or trying to view an e-mail I get the message "Not Responsive" as I watch the Windows "circle" rotate in the middle of the screen. Usually within 15 seconds to a minute the computer again returns to usable state. It used to happen only in Windows Mail. But about two weeks ago it started happening when using other programs, IE, Firefox, etc.
My system specs are as follows:
Dell Dimension E521
Vista Home Premium 32 bit
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ 2GHz
2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz- 2DIMMs
256MB NVIDIA Geforce 7300LE TurboCache
Integrated 7.1 Channel Audio
Optiquest 19" widescreen lcd 1280 x 768
250GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cache™
Tower
Dell USB Keyboard and Dell 2-button Scroll Mouse
DSL 3.0 Mbps down 384 Kbps up
To this point I worked with Dell support to try to solve the problem. After doing a disk cleanup, removing temp files, etc. that didn't fix it, they had me perform a restore to Factory Settings. However even after doing that and reinstalling my programs and data files, the problem persists. I have tried opening Windows in safe mode and the problem doesn't occur then. BTW, there are no error messages when this occurs.
When Dreamscape is running, Vista will periodically hard hang (will not respond to any input except hardware reset).
On reboot all desktop dispay setting are trashed.

I have a PC running Vista x64 specs-
MB Asus P5VD2-VM
CPU Core 2 Duo 6700
GPU BFG Nvidia 8600GTS
HD Seagate 500GB Sata
RAM 4 GB DDR2 (System only uses 3GB due to chipset lacking memory remap)
For the past year its been occasionally hanging at random - sometimes repeatedly each day, othertimes once every few days. I have run ram tests and its found nothing. Its not overheatring. The only other thing I can think of is the hard drive when I run seagates tools it cant complete the long tests but it does the short test - can anyone thing of any other diagnostics I can try.
Im running vista 64bit home premium on my acer desktop. Its been absolutly fine until today. I uninstalled a game and suddenly...well.. every time I close any application the system hangs up/stalls..the cursor goes into 'wait' mode and I can't do anything, the windows key does nothing, etc. Task manager does come up after cntrl/alt/dlt, but it wont do anything - the cursor won't even close it. If Im in a game and tab out, the same thing happens. Sometimes it happens once Ive booted. The desktop pic may be there but the desktop icons wont be...If I go to the menu screen and hit log off then suddenly things happen as they should, but the machine, naturally, logs off. Ive run a virus scan using avast, but it found nothing.

View 7 Replies View RelatedSo this is the first issue I've really had with this. I try to uninstall the current SP1 to install the new refresh and this is what happens. All goes well until stage 3. Stage 3 gets to 74-75% and "hangs". When I say hangs... it does progress... SLOOOOOWLLLLYYY. Eventually its gets to about 85% then jumps to 100% and eventually says "uninstall has failed" and reverts changes. It's 11:30pm right now. I started the uninstall at ~6:15pm. Between it going slowly and then reverting the changes, thats how long it took. Tried this twice so far, both with the same result. I previously uninstalled a different version of the SP, no issues.

I had disabled all anti-virus and firewalling software.
I am told by friend that this is what happened when he first tried to install SP2, though he DID get through to 100% complete, before message popped up that installation failed and that his lappie would be rolled back to last good SP1 configuration. I have tried the wuauserv net stop bits net start bits repair.bat file that I read about elsewhere. His wife's exact same laptop (bought at same time, same configuration, same updates installed) installed SP2 no problems.
When I try to download a number of emails ore large emails, vist mail will process about 3/4 of them and then just hangs and can not down load any more.
