Run-Time Error Arghhhhh!

[DocStram]

A little geek help needed

Here's the problem:
I'm using Windows XP and MSOffice. When I get an email attachment with a MS Word document ..... I click on the attachment to open it. Then, as I am editing it, I get a message reading "Run-Time Error". The document then shuts down and is gone. However, if I get an email with an MS Word attachment and save the attachment before opening it, I can then open and edit the document without any problems. The Run-Time Error also happens in a few other instances.

Besides, wiping and reformatting my hd .... or reinstalling MS Office ... is there anything I can do?

Save them all to the hard drive first?[] Sorry Al, I'm not geeky enough to know more than this.[]

I think Oprah is having a special on run-time errors next week. [][)][]

Sorry Doc just kidding, I will ask a couple of the computer guys here if they can come up with an answer.

There is a fix for this and I will see if I can find it in my work email tomorrow. Or you could try Microsoft.com.

Maybe it was sent to the "OLD" Doc Stram and you aren't authorized to read it! [] [] []
Seriously I think it is a registry problem, if you search runtime error on google you will find some free programs to check your registry.

Good ol Oprah![] I wonder if Dr. Phil can set up counselling sessions for this sort of thing![}][}]

And you wonder why I wrote that letter to Santa. [] As my wife claims, I enjoy being downtrodden. []

Doc, do you have any Norton software running? Norton and MS office dont like each other.

If not Dr. Phil, then maybe it might bring a drama moment to a Jerry Springer show.

Sounds like they need a counseling session.
