[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] MS Word 5.5 crash & burn problem

xeee02@mixcom.UUCP (Dean A. Roth) (11/25/90)

I received my MS Word 5.5 update and installed it.
It will run for several minutes, then lock up the machine.
Word 4.0 and 5.0 worked O.K.

The machine is a Leading Edge Model D, 640K RAM, Hercules,
etc. (Yes, an 8088 at 4.77MHz.) 

I've checked MS's docs for clues, but there are no
apparent conflicts with my hardware or software.

Has anyone else experienced something similar, or does
this look like an isolated problem?  Thank you.

Dean
