It would be good to know what OS you are using, are you patched fully up to
date and what are the circumstances when the crash occurs?

Vista 07. I have downloaded all updates. It does it everytime I tried to open
an existing document or when I try to close a document. When I try to open an
existing document, in the lower left hand sign it will say, "Running a virus
scan", then I get a black area where the document should be. I am also up to
date with Norton antivirus....

Open NAV and disable the Office Plug-in. This will not affect your security.

Let me know if that resolves the problems.

I do not run NAV.

I am having the same error code from my winword crash. I am running vista 64
bit ultimate with office 2007 enterprise. I am up to date with all the new
updates.

I've disabled my virus scanners and spyware scanners.

I can open word and write documents but I cannot open old documents, it just
freezes.

I've tried uninstalling/ reinstalling with no help.

I'm in desperate need as I'm a student that needs to write documents and
might just reformat my hdd soon! ahhhh.

Thanks in advance for all the help.

Please in future start a new message thread rather than tagging onto some
else's old thread.

Please describe what happens when you try to open old documents?
Is this a new computer and if so, how did you transfer the old documents to
your new computer?
What version of OS and are both the OS and Word fully patched up to date?
Do you get the virus scan message too?
Did you ever have NAV - even a free trial version - installed at any time?
Have you checked in the AV settings that the Office scanning has been
disabled?
