My computer is five years old and runs Windows XP. My Microsoft Word and Window Explorer 7 crash every several days. I've tried deleting and reinstalling Word but that hasn't help.

I have good anti-virus, firewall, and ani-spyware programs. I keep them updated and run tests regularly. Any ideas what's going on here???

No,but I'll run it by hub when I get the chance. Mine does fine.

I'm glad to hear that, M.J. I wasn't trying to suggest that it's a normal characteristic of Microsoft Word or Windows Explorer 7. My computer is some what old and I think it's trying to warn me of impending doom.

Here's an update: I download OpenOffice.org (an freeware application that does word processing among other things) to my computer and used it for a short letter today. It did what I needed and it didn't crash. I still don't know what's up with my computer. I had to stop using my ethernet connection for my cable modem some time back and I've switched back to my ethernet connection this past weekend. I've done a thorough check on my computer for viruses and it comes up clean. Any costructive ideas would be appreciated.

HHHHMMMMMM, maybe it isnt the computer, HEHE just rubbin your furr the wrong way there kittyman .
