I can't determine if this is a virus. I open Word and immediately I receive the error message "Winword.exe has generated an error. A log will be created. You must restart the program". The log can not be understood by someone without machine address knowledge and restarting the program does the same thing.
I have the same problem with Outlook.
Any ideas. I've ran Norton 2001 with live updates and I did receive an error saying the gapi32.dll was missing from \winnt\system32. I copied it from the \program files\common directory but I still have the same problem.
I'm running Windows 2000 and Office 2000. I have the latest updates from Microsoft.
Any thoughts

I've had the same problem with Internet Explorer, and Netscape and gotten the same results. Hope someone has an answer for this one!

Thanks but nothing worked, even Notepad was having a problem. I finally upgraded to Windows XP and the problem is no more.

I am actually having the same problem with winword.exe. It occurs when I am just using Word 2000. I am not running Norton Anti-virus, and I have 2000 Pro installed. ANy ideas?

Some idiot at work managed to delete the winword.exe file for microsoft word 97. Can someone please e-mail me this file. I don't have the cd -it's @ headoffice.

Winword.exe has generated an error. A log will be created. You must restart the program".
when i download a word file form outlook express the above error is occuring.but some time it is opening.
i have reinstalled office 2000 still the problem is there

go to the following link at MS and it will solve your problem, it did to mine:
http://support.microsoft.com/search/preview.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q316033

cuando manda ese error "winword.exe a generado un error y se generara un archivo LOG" se debe desisntalar OFFICE COMPLETO, correr un archivo regenerador del REGISTRO de WINDOWS con una utileria como REGCLEAN, borrar COMPLETAMENTE la carpeta de OFFICE y reinicializar, posteriormente INSTALAR OFFICE de nuevo....y queda PERFECTAMENTE trabajando todo.
COMPROBADO.

I am having the same problem, tried all of nortons fixe's and now i am trying the re-naming thing> Hope this works or XP here i come. bill can get another 200 out of me.

I do not have a comment about winword but a problem with Outlook. The exe file is gone and the application will not launch, however in the processes part of the task manager, it is running. I have recieved NO error messages, nothing. I dare not delete and reload because I do not want to loose all of my emails. I can not find them, they seem to be buried somewhere. I reloaded Win 2000 and the entire 2000 premium suite..nothing is working. Now my system seems to be more unstable. I know just enough to be very dangerous. Can anyone help??

For those of you who did not understand the recent message posted in SPANISH, here is a translation. I believe it contains, ironically, the answer to your problem:
When you get the error "Winword.exe has generated an error. A log will be created. You must restart the program", you should uninstall office COMPLETELY, run a windows registry restoration with a utility like REGCLREAN, COMPLETELY erase the OFFICE file, reboot, and REINSTALL OFFICE.
