Word 98 For Mac
Hi Allen: Error 2 usually means it's out of memory. It's trying to do a conversion from the previous version of Word and stopping because it can't get enough memory. Make sure your Virtual Memory is turned ON. Word expects and needs VM in 98 and above.
Lift Word's preferred memory to 24 MB. If that doesn't fix it, lift it to 48 MB. Do NOT alter the Minimum memory setting. Don't set Word higher than half the physical RAM on your computer or you will have trouble with other applications. If that doesn't fix it, you will need to Remove and Re-install.

Tried to start Word from the original program disk, 'Error type 2' Did an install of the word program from the original disk and started with 48 meg specified. Error type 2. I am flummexed.
Also having a problem with the system in that the drag and drop facility is not working on the desktop. I have reinstalled the system from the update that I retrieved from apples site on the web. When I restarted I still wasn't able to drag and drop icons. Beth Rosengard 16/5/2003, 23:55 น. Hi Allen, You need to do a complete uninstall and reinstall of Office 98. Installing just Word on top of what was already there won't do it.
But before you proceed with this, rebuild your desktop and see if the drag and drop problem resolves. If it doesn't, contact Apple for help troubleshooting this issue. As for the removal/reinstall, follow these steps but note that I originally wrote this for Office 2001, so you may find some files are in different locations than specified here, but you shouldn't have trouble finding them. If these files are important to you, back them up on external media for later reinstallation: Normal Template: ApplicationsMicrosoft Office 98Templates My Templates (your custom templates): same as above Custom Dictionary: System FolderPreferencesMicrosoft AutoCorrect List (Office ACL English): same as above - Download the Office 98 Remover from.
DO NOT use the remover from the Office 98 CD. With all Office applications closed, run it.
That searches your hard disk, and particularly your System folder, to make sure everything is removed. Rebuild the desktop. Reinstall Office 98 from the CD. Start each Office 98 application once to cause it to initialize itself. Download and install the recommended updaters from Mactopia.com. You need all but the optional ones listed here plus the SSL Security updater. Rebuild the desktop.
Software to create and manage virtual drives for mac. Now take Word's Preferred memory up to 24000K and see how you go.
