Microsoft Visual C ++ Runtime library
buffer overrun detected! Program: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Winword.exe
A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the program's internal state.
the program cannot safely continue execution and must now be terminated.
The error occurs just after you open a document or start typing a message in Outlook. the cause of the problem is a known-bug in the spell-checking mechanism. to solve it you need to install a Hotfix and also delete the custom-dictionary file that was created by Word.
Download the Hotfix from Microsoft or from Here.
In my link I also added to the zip a batch file that helps deleting the custom-dictionary file.
There are 3 files to use:
1. MSSP3HE.msp (For Hebrew Localized Office): run it until the setup finishes successfully.
2. HBRMUI.msp (For Hebrew LangPack): run it- you'll probably get a message saying you don't need it.
3. Fix-Buffer-Overrun.bat = run it to delete the custom.dic file. alternativley, delete the file manually from this location: %userprofile%\application data\microsoft\proof\custom.dic
To test the hotfix you can just start Word and type gibberish until you get the red-line beneath the letters.
