That this is referring to WINWORD.EXE?
As in, Word 2002?

What version of office are you running? (hopefully not 2002)

Edited: I'm faltering...

The day will come, and I'm sure the differences are negligible. As far as we're concerned, your facelessness is evident. All that is left is your costume.

A new perspective on you.

Food for thought, indeed.

With which, I hope you are able to accommodate yourself. Others, I trow, are not so near able to.

Devil take the hindmost.

Over the summer, I've seen at least 5 apparently unrelated instances of "This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way." I do not know if there is any significance to this.

The question: What runtime is used by Office 10? Is this a vb/net runtime?

The 2 obvious starter suggestions:

Normal.dot: Rename it & let Word create a new one. Test.

Add-ons: Disable them or run Office in the Office Safe Mode.

Then there is the good old Detect and Repair on the help menu (wherever that has got to on the ribbon) and the Add & Remove / Programs & Features control panel option to repair Office.

I never did any such thing. I deny it. I? Restore rationality? Strict rationality, even?

Get outta Dodge.

I may have been on topic, but rational? Nevar!

Have you tried to login as a different user and see if the problem still exists?

i ended up reimaging the machine, i could get to the root of the problem, however it didnt happen on another machine, and yes unfortunatley it is office 2002.... we run a old version of hummbird dm and are unable to upgrade untill dm gets upgraded anyway seems to be alright now
