I have a window vista, clicked on start program to active the Window 2000
Word, I have been trying for the past hour, it keeps saying the program is
not responding. I have a document saved on my desktop, it keeps saying
"requesting virus scan" but the doc would not open. Please help!

The virus scan message comes not from Word but from linked anti-virus
software. Checking of Word/Office documents can usually be deselected in the
AV program e.g. in Norton AV by turning off its Office Plug-in.
