We now have this problem on 2 computers (both Win98):
When opening Word 2000, we get an illegal operation.
WINWORD caused an invalid page fault in module
VBE6.DLL ... Any ideas please.

Yes! I have started running into this problem on several
of our machines. The thing I have been doing (which seems
to be permanently correcting the problem) is search and
rename vbe6.dll - then open Word. It will automatically
reinstall this .dll file from the Office cd. Good
luck! :)

Russ, Kelly, this looks like a problem with an add-in. Try starting Word
with a "/a" on the command line so that no add-ins or templates are loaded
at start-up. If the problem goes away, you should check with the add-in
vendor to determine if there is an update, or, if you can live without it,
just get rid of it.

Good luck!

I tried that. Unfortunately I got the same problem, I'll
try what Jeanne said and let you know. Thanks ;)

Hi Jeanne, This did the trick but how do I know what add-
in/template is loading. Both of these computers have only
whats on the Off 2000 CD installed. Therre should be no
3rd party add-in. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Russ

Take a look at the Office startup directory (normally "\startup" underneath
the Office directory). You would see a .DOT or a .WLL file. Judging from
the error, it is definitely an add-in, so I would be curious to know who
that bad boy is, too. Often system-wide utilities install additional goo
when they find Office applications present.
