Hello...I was working on my bosses machine, and he had uninstalled some programe which he has no idea what it was, I think he's just scared to admit he done a NO NO, but, he ended up with the error message saying "illegal operation" it was a dw.exe...I done some reasearch and found some postings saying it was a bug from ussing kazza...He does not use kazza on his bussiness computer...I came home and done a search on my machine and found the DW.exe in a folder named "office 10" in programe files...I'm hopping that all I have to do is copy and past...Any other ideas of how I could fix it if this does not work...Cause there other different possibilities of receiving this error message...?
