What is the operating system that you are using?
Seems like a problem that I do know about incompatibility of version 2000 of Mathcad and Windows XP systems!

I'm working with Mathcad 2000 at the moment - we had a copy going spare, and it was a lot closer to my colleaagues than the v7 I have been stubbornly sticking to these last few years, so I decided to make use of it. No problems so far, until today - but then I haven't stressed it until today. Actually, what I've been doing today shouldn't have been particularly stressful - simple symbolic stuff - but stressful compared to what I've used it for thus far. Anyway ...
... I've discovered this "interesting" bug in the equation editor. I'd be surprised (but not amazed) if it's not known about, but I don't recall it being aired before. I'm editing an equation (with symbolic equals, not evaluation equals) - just manually regrouping some terms - and trying to delete a placeholder (using the delete key on the keyboard). Three times now, Mathcad has just instanteously shut itself down as a result. Not crashed, just made a sharp exit - as if Delete was a (red)hotkey. One time, Windows even asked me if I wanted to send blahblah.mcd to the Recycle Bin ...
So now I'm proceeding very carefully, saving every few seconds, and keeping my fingers crossed. Does anyone know anything about this bug?
