Equation Editor in Word 2013 doesn't work?!

Hello.

I am trying to add an equation to my work document. When I launch the equation editor, nothing pops up on the word document, but the equation editor menu pops up towards the top right corner of the screen. When I open any menus within the equation editor menu, all items are blank. The next keystroke on my keyboard causes Word to crash!

Please help!

Thanks!
