Scenario: I have a folder on the desktop that contains numerous Word files.
When I open the folder and try and open any of the Word files I get the
following error messages, in the following order. No other applications are
open at the time.

First message: "MS Office is trying to recover your information. Windows is
checking for a solution to this problem"

Second message: "MS Office is trying to recover you information. This may
take several minutes".

Third and final message: MS Office Word has stopped working. A problem
caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program
and notify you of a solution" - which never does take place...

Has anyone else had experience with this issues, thoughts on what may be
potentially causing the problem, remedies etc. Thanks in advance.
