Hi Pavel,

A WLL is an old-style Add-in, written in old WordBasic and developed in the C++
environment. So, some tool has been installed on your system, and it's not able to
function correctly, for some reason (apparently, it can't add a menu item).

Probably, this WLL file is stored in Word's STARTUP folder. If you don't know where that
is on your machine, look in Tools/Options/File locations. Go to this folder, using
Windows Explorer (with Word NOT running) and move that file to a different folder. Now
try starting Word and see if the problem goes away...

Thank you, Cindy.

My OS is Windows2000. I tried to rename the
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Microsoft
folder (it contained Word\STARTUP and Template folders, as indicated in
Word's "Tools/Options/File locations")
and the
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft
folder,
but all errors survived!

Thus, I could not find out the location of that malicious WLL startup file...
So, the problem has not been solved yet.

try searching your driver for all files ending in *.wll?

Hi Pavel,

FWIW, WRDemo.wll is part of the Evaluation copy of
the 'Recovery for Word' program from
http://www.officerecovery.com/word/index.htm

You may want to use Add/Remove Programs in the Windows control panel to uninstall the demo package as well.

It was the first thing I tried to do: I found wrdemo.wll and renamed it to
wrdemo#.wll . But nothing changed.

A minute ago I found that file again and renamed it to wrdemo#.wl .
And... the errors disappeared!!
This means, the OS loaded the file because of its extension and location,
not just name.

Thank you very much! >>

Right you are, Bob.
However,
1. Somehow the 'Recovery for Word' is not registered on the 'Add/Remove
Programs' list of Control Panel;
2. I believe that 'Recovery for Word' can help one day in case of Word's
abnormal termination, as already happened.

Thanks,
Pavel
