I can't get word to open. This problem started out of the blue. When I try to open it my system just hangs and then it gives me a message that says it's low on memory and needs to shut word down. I click OK and then it tells me windows needs to shut down, that's usually when I reboot. Everything else works except Word. I've done every kind of scan I can think of and come up empty. Any ideas??

Sounds like you have to many programs (or Malware) loading in Startup that are not needed.

Are you opening a file, or just Word?

This quite often occurs if your normal.dot template is corrupt. Use Find-File to search for normal.dot and delete it (Its normal.size is 29Kb) then reboot and re-open Word.
