When I try to get into the word application, I get the following message:

Winword.exe - Bad Image application on DLL
c:documentsandsettings/jpag/mydocuments/winspool.drv is not a valid windows image.

Alot a DLL exention documents just showed up under my documents files that were never there. As a get around - I can go to start - programs - word to open a new document. With this open, I can then go back and get into my documents.

???? Thank you.
