That sounds like a good plan, Norma.  If you don't use Works, but just
use Word, I believe it's that Addin that's causing the problem...but
removing them all shouldn't hurt.  And, yes, your steps at the end seem
like good maintenance, but maybe overkill and not really necessary.
And, I would skip the System File Checker...unless you really know what
to replace and what not to replace, SFC can often replace newer files
with older ones and cause problems...so I would skip that for now and
see how everything else works.

Good luck...report back.

Ok you guys/gals this makes more sense to me than anything we have done
to my computer so far. Several times I have thought of uninstalling the
Works Suite but was not sure how to do it.

The Works Suite is on the same CD with Word 2000 that came with my
Gateway Computer, is that a problem if I ever have to re run Word 2000?

I just went over to add/unistall and there are several items listed on
my computer that have the word *Works* in them..So I want to be sure I
don't mess up. Here is what is listed.

Microsoft Works 2000
Microsoft Works 2000 Setup Launcher
Word in Works Suite Add-in

Am I safe to uninstall all three of the above or did I understand that I
only have to remove Word in Works Suite Add-in? Just want to be sure.  

After I uninstall all three or just Add-in should I do the following to
make sure my computer is clean? 

1.Do a complete Disk Scan
2.Defrag
3.Delete all Temp files
4.System file checker
5.Run Dr. Watson
6.Run Norton's Anti Virus Scan
7.Re Start my computer

Awaiting your expertise

(((Hugs)))
Norma
