Suzanne,
Looks like I have the same problem, and your solution seems a lot better
than the registry mumbo jumbo in the Microsoft memo. But, could you tell
me
how to remove the 908531 update. I have never run into this before.
Thanks.

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
