This problem has since been resolved by simply rebooting the computer and everything went back to normal. What needed to be done was to figure out some way to get rid of the 2003 MS updates and by rebooting and hearing that the system was gathering information when I opened a new Word 2000 Document, then everything was fine again. I checked a Word Document in My Documents and that opened properly also. These 2003 updates made it impossible for me to use Word 2000 in any way, to read or write since the 2003 Installer wanted to install Word 2003 in my system which does not even exist at all to begin with. Again, all is fine once again. Thanks.

Are the docs simply not showing up? ----- Original Message ----- From: Taika To: Jaws Users Sent: Monday, October 16, 2006 8:08 AM Subject: [jaws-users] MS Updates huge Problem I am not nearly computer savvy as I should be. I really have never understood everything about MS updates. last night I installed the MS updates that were in my System Tray waiting to be installed. I saw that they were for Word 2003, but my logic was that if ever I do install Word 2003, then it would be all updated. Wrong!!! I use only Word 2000 all the time and it works for me perfectly. However, now, I cannot gain any access to my Word 2000 Documents since I do not have Word 2003 anywhere in my system to install. I ask: How could I find a way to uninstall these MS 2003 updates from yesterday, since I cannot find my original Word 2000 program disk that was a part of Small Business Tools. I can only find my older copy for NT and Win. 98, I think it says. I hope someone can offer ideas on how I can remedy this impossible situation for me now without the Program Disk. You know things like this happen when you absolutely need to use the program and I must find some way to be able to access my Word 2000 docs and be able to create Word 2000 Docs, somehow. Thanks very, very much always for your expertise, time and dedication to help others.
