This problem occurred recently after having been using this program for a
couple of years.

FYI I have already done the following:
1) Control Panel->add/remove prgrms ->microsoft office ->detect & repair,
and did a reinstall as well.
2)chkdsk /f /r
3)multiple antivirus scans; antimalware scans
4)Update Windows (xp)
