Annoying bug. Anyone have a fix?

Hiya I am using Microsoft Office professional 2003.
It has works well for many years.

However, last night it started to play up. When I click the icon to open
up a new doc. I get the normal box in the task bar. It starts off saying
Microsoft word, then changes to document1.

However, a page does not open.

When I click on an existing document, the same thing happens but the box in
task bar has the files name.

All other programs in office still work fine

I have tried a repair, I have tried uninstaling and reinstalling the word.
Nothing to date has sorted the issue.

I then tried uninstalling the word then running reg mechanic and
reinstalling word.

The issue is not resolved.

I tried getting online help and was aksed to enter my code, to which I was
told it was invaid.

I am now at a loss.

Does anyone know what could be causing this issue.

all my office file don't open it just display "XML File can not recover"
please help me

When using a quotation mark at the start of a quotation, why is this not
visible until the first word of the quotation is typed?

In Word 2003, I have a table, in one of the columns, when I get to the
bottom of the page typing in text, instead of the table continuing on
to the next page and letting me continue to add text in that column,
it just disappears. I can see the tops of the letters I'm typing, but
as I type, the letters just don't go anywhere viewable. There is
already a table on the next page, but usually it just moves that table
to a new page with a page break and let's me continue typing as the
table wraps to the next page so I can see the text, but as I said, the
text is disappearing, and it doesn't go anywhere and the table on the
next page is not affected in any way.

Is a Doctor Watson message something I need to be concerned about? Does it
mean my Word software is corrupt? Has do I correct this issues?

I googled many solutions to the problem, and still have Word 2007 showing
the message:
"Word could not create the work file. Check the temp environment variable."
I'm not annoyed by the message itself, byt I noted that some large files do
not open, and some files open but instead of showing the images in them it
shows:
"The image cannot be displayed. Your computer may not have enough memory to
open the image, or the image have been corrupted. Restart your computer, and
then open the file again. If the red x still appears, you may have to delete
the image and then insert it again."

I tried to rename the Data subkey in the registry and renaming the
Normal.dot, but after starting Word it hang for more than 10 minutes and I
had to kill the process using Task Manager. It started working again after
several restarts, but the startup error persisted.
I tried to switch off all of the COM Add-ins using the Word Options ->
Add-ins - Manage COM Add-ins, and it didn't help.
I reinstalled MS Office, and it had no effect also...

BTW - my "C:\Users" directory is compressed...

When I attempt to open a Word document (or just open Word), it tells me that
it failed to open. Occasionally it attempts to open an MS Office Prof'l
Hybrid 2007, but that doesn't change anything.
Yesterday, I could not open Outlook or Excel, and then today those apps
opened normally. I've rebooted a couple times w/o a change to Word.
Any ideas?
