Thank you Suzanne for posting the link, I never would have recognized it as
being related to the problem if you hadn't.
I suggestion/request to all of you who know so much more than the rest of us
(hear my voice light (deep and mellow actually))....I would have never
removed anything based on the advice of someone I didn't know (have had that
disaster before), having the official page makes me comfortable about doing
it. I only wish I hadn't needed to read through the personal quarrels to find
it. I'm new to the "community", is this typical?
I'm going to try to fix my computer now (cross fingers for me)...and I agree
with (forgot who) thanks a lot Micro....two hours of trying everything I know
before I had time to start a search...

I am having the same problem, I can't save any files in Office, yet I
did not do a security upgrade.
Thinking it may have upgraded automatically, I went to the Add/Remove
section and did not find any Security Updates list.
I have run a virus scan, Spyware scan, and put my MS Office 2003 CD
back in and ran the "repair" function, I have tried starting it up in
safe mode and tried saving a file that way..... none of this is helping
Can someone tell an non-IT type what he can try and walk me through the
steps
Many thanks
Phil
