How do I stop Word 97 from sending CPU to sleepmode? Laurie 25.06.2006 00:05:01 When I am using Word 97 it shuts off in the middle of a session and puts my CPU into sleep mode and then reboots the CPU. After this, when I open my Word program, sometimes the auto recover file does not appear and I cannot open any Word documents. Sometimes I get an error message, sometimes not. Does this have to do with the normal.dot file?

You need to change it (or disable it) so that it doesn't happen at unwanted times. -- Terry Farrell - Word MVP http://word.mvps.org/ "Laurie" <Laurie[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:CF53CA01-9F8C-4762-80B4-93E91CADF5F9[ at ]microsoft.com... : When I am using Word 97 it shuts off in the middle of a session and puts my : CPU into sleep mode and then reboots the CPU.
