I am hoping someone can help me. Whenever I try and open a document from
within Word I get the message:

"Word has insufficient memory. Do you want to save Document 1 as Rescued
Document?"

I can open documents through Windows Explorer but whenever I try and "save
as" the same problem occurs. I have also noticed that when I try and "open"
a document from Excel, nothing happens.

I did have the Nimda virus on my computer a few weeks ago and replaced the
riched20.dll and loadwc.exe files. I am running Word 97 and Windows 98SE.

I can't find my Microsoft Office CD and don't want to have reinstall the
programs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My e-mail address is
3toedsloth@3toedsloth.com.

Regards

I encounterd these same symptoms with Nimda so you
may still have it.  Sorry to not be of any help
but after removing the virus, I had to reinstall Office.

The only advice I can give is to read the various virus
sites and see if they suggest something you haven't tried.

Good luck

You could also try one of the Word specific newgroups eg

microsoft.public.word.newusers

I've encountered this before, you need to restore the riched20.dll, symantec
has a writeup about that:
