re: Winword lockout blames GDI.EXE Saturday, January 8, 2005 at 2:37 pm Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Steve (7 messages posted) I mean 'running' Word by clicking on shortcut. Tried also starting the prog using Winword.exe from within Office folder. Shows Winword banner then hourglass and lockup. I have now run Antivirus and Scandisk, renamed .PWL file, run two adware progs, Spybot and AdAware, found two data miners. ME is always currently updated, last was media Player critical update. All other programs I have tried load and run. All suggestions welcome, please.
