    Thanks.
    Problem is sometime RPC doesn't start even though it's set to auto, and
    avast needs it running to operate properly.

    I don't understand what your last sentence means- rning?

    I also can't get any Office apps, like Word 2000 SP-1, to run for about
    a month, either. Shortcuts and program folders are there.
    The messages I get are: 

    ---
First Opening doc err window:
"The doc name or path is not valid. Try these suggestions.
*Check the file permissions for the doc or drive.
*Use the File Open dialog box to locate the doc docname.doc.
OK"
Select OK, get:
Second Opening doc err window:
"The doc name or path is not valid.
Try one or more of the following:
*Check the path to make sure it was type correctly.
*On the File menu, click Open. Search for the file using this dialog
box:
(...\docname.doc)
Ok"
Word then shuts down.
When I select New or open:
"Problems with shortcut
This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."
then...
"Windows Explorer
(Yellow !) Unable to run this command.
Ok."

I used the original disk to look for a repair option, but couldn't find
one.
