Office XP error messages

I have a network running Win2k SBS with SQL and 7 clients
running win2k. When running Word I get the following
errors on all clients.

"The office assistant coult be started. The assistant
might not have been deleted properly, there might be a
problem with your office setup or you computer might be
low on memory."

"This document could not be registered, It will not be
possible to create links from other documents to this
document."

"SVCHOST.exe has generated errors and will closed by
windows. You will need to restart the program."

Please hepl me solve this problem

Thank you

Sounds like you need to do a virus sweep there first to confirm that your
machines are clean.

As far as diagnosing things further, if this is happening on all computers,
try disconnecting one from the LAN to isolate it, then troubleshoot it like
a standalone PC, logon as a local Administrator, and get the machine to work
first by itself. Along the way, you may find out where you went wrong.

You could remove and reinstall Office, but I think that your problem sounds
like either an AV program out of control, and actual virus, or perhaps
malware embedding itself into IE and cause Word to flip out.

Got all W2K/XP's patched with the ms03-039? The SVCHOST-error is typical for
the blastworm.
Open up Taskmanager on every machine and look for the msblast.exe,
mspatch.exe or teekids-proces. Kill it and go to www.sophos.com to get the
removaltool. After that install ms03-039 from microsoft to prevent from
happening again.
