Try uninstalling the 908531 update and wait for the revised version to be
available next Tuesday.

When using file open or file save, Word/Excel both stop responding. Have
no
network shares mapped. Installed registry key according to kb918165.
Repaired Office XP professional. Uninstalled and reinstalled. When
trying
to open option tools and modify file save setting, application hangs also.

Cannot use Office right now. Really could use some help.

Thanks,
Janet
