Just checked my Outlook Express. When I finished and clicked the X in the top right of the page, OE went away but the Illegal Procedure box came up again. In the top left of this box were the letters Msimn.

In Microsoft Windows 98 or Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me)
The error signature is listed on the affected program's Help menu. 1. On the Help menu, click About Microsoft Program name.
2. Click System Info, and then double-click Office 10 Applications in the folder tree.
3. Click the Office Event/Application Fault folder.

The error log appears in the right pane.
You can also read this information in the DW.log file.

basically what that's saying to do is to open up the offending office program (word) go to help and follow those steps to get the error log

Went to System Info in Word and could not find an Office 10 anywhere. Then got two hits for the DW log but when I clicked on them it said "the file is damaged or is not a valid Dr. Watson log file"
Is this for the "illegal Procedure" or for the "somethings running in the background" when I try to scan?

the illegal procedure

[tofu5]

I went again to the About Microsoft, then tried detect and repair. That was not accessible either.

[dsenette]

not accessible how?

[tofu5]

It said , basically, it couldn't do anything as the needed cd or removable disc was not being used.

[dsenette]

do you have your office disk?

[tofu5]

It is probably in all the stuff I received when my friend gave me this computer. I will try to find it.

[dsenette]

if you find it let me know....a repair of office might help some of th eissues

[tofu5]

Wow, the computer just did a weird thing. I just checked the OE, then closed out of it, then the Illegal Procedure box came up again, and at the bottom of that box, it said Collecting Information about ____, and it kept changing, then disappeared. I have never seen that before.

[dsenette]

...me neither actually...what do you mean by it kept changing?

Found the two Microsoft Office 2000 Professional discs.
