microsoft.public.word.vba.general

None of those files have anything to do with it -- they're associated with .Net
Framework 3.0 (formerly called WinFX). I think you can now stop searching your
computer for "files that sound something like WinFax".

I have no idea why Word is trying to make a coversheet, if that is in fact
what's happening. It's possible that the .cvr file you see doesn't really have
anything to do with Word or the crashes.

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/ProblemsStartingWord.htm for general
troubleshooting problems (not just in starting Word), and
http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm for how to clean up the
temp folder, whose load of files could itself cause problems.
