Can't SAVE files to Folders from EXCEL (and WORD)
I can't save files to existing folders... can't even do a "save as"... the
EXCEL 2003 Program gets to a "Not Responding" state and I have to crash it. I was able to save a file to the "My Documents" folder. The same thing happened to my Word Program. This all happened after I did the latest security update to the XP program. I "removed" and then reinstalled the Office 2003 program but the problem still exists. |

Can't SAVE files to Folders from EXCEL (and WORD)
Hi David:
You can remove the offending update from Add/Remove Programs, where it shows as "Security Update for Windows XP (KB908531)". Make sure the "show updates" box at the top is ticked or you won't see hotfixes in the list. -- Carol A.

Doesn't this exposure you to security problems. And also, could this cause
additional problems? Why can't Microsoft fix this.

Can't SAVE files to Folders from EXCEL (and WORD)
I had the very same problem - after a day and a half of trying to figure out
what was wrong I stumbled onto this forum. I tried the fix suggested and now Word and Excel save to folders. Thanks for the help - but no Thanks to Microsoft for the lost time and effort of the last two days. "Carol" wrote: Well Said Suzanne! I wonder if it helped him?? -- Carol A. Bratt, MCP "Suzanne S.

You know Ed, with a crapy response like yours, this is why people stop
posting to these threads to help one another. If you don't like the posts here, why don't you just pay Microsoft for their time to fix your problems. I am so glad that you are so perfect in helping resolve this issue at hand and not making "smart" remarks to everyone. Where is your post to help David and others with this problem? I cannot stand people who are arrogant and to others. "Edward H. Sebesta" wrote: How clever of you Suzanne. Really useless response. "Suzanne S.

Fantastic advice! I had been racking my brains and Googling all over the
place to find out what had gone wrong. Though it might even be virus related. But it seems Microsoft are themselves the culprits. What a bunch of nerks! They should be ashamed of themselves.

You probably know moe aboutthis than me but I'm confused. Microsoft send out a security patch. Microsoft Word and Excel get screwed up. How is third party software to blame? And even if it is, does an organisation the size of Microsoft not foresee such glitches? I'm also told this kind of thing has happened before...

Over 120 million successful installations of the update. Less than 1000
calls about problems. http://blogs.technet.com/msrc/default.aspx That update patched a very real security hole in Windows. If they try it against every scrap of outdated software that is out there and all combinations, they might release it by the next millenium.

Hello
I had the same problem in both of my computers. I got rid of the Security Update listed below but my automatic updates keeps wanting to download it again. I did not notice this at first but I lost another document as I tried to save it after the file was again downloaded. Any solutions to kill this update? Why was the obvious problem not noticed?

Can't SAVE files to Folders from EXCEL (and WORD)
Last year I couldn't save at all after seconds symester: because it was
apparently full. Now i can save only once, then it becomes read only. I can't make any adjustments unless i rename it: except in Access. For some reason I can't do anything else but read it once i close it. I can save in mydocuments, but it seems like i'm the only student having these problems: so how do i fix my folder at school? |

Can't SAVE files to Folders from EXCEL (and WORD)
I'm having exactly the same problem, but it's not to do with the security
patch mentioned as I haven't loaded it (and won't now!). Waht I've tried is: Running office repair Uninstalling and reinstakking office Removing and replacing the normal.dot None have worked. I still can't savea single document in Word or Excel. I tired logging on as a different person and the same thing happens. Also if I go to the folders where Word documents reside through My Documents and create a new file it lets me, so its not a security issue. So does anyone have any further thoughts please before I format the disc and reload windows?

Can't SAVE files to Folders from EXCEL (and WORD)
Ok -I've solved this thanks to another forum. It seems that its the
combination of a recent microsoft update and the presence of HP share-to-web software. Have a look at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/918165? . You'll have to do some registry hacking, but it has cured my problem. I wasn't even aware I had this HP software as I'd long ago removed the printer driver, but it was obviously still lurking around somewhere.

Have a look at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/918165? . You'll have to do some registry hacking, but it has cured my problem. I wasn't even aware I had this HP software as I'd long ago removed the printer driver, but it was obviously still lurking around somewhere. Alan I can't save files to existing folders... can't even do a "save as"... the EXCEL 2003 Program gets to a "Not Responding" state and I have to crash it. I was able to save a file to the "My Documents" folder. The same thing happened to my Word Program. This all happened after I did the latest security update to the XP program. I "removed" and then reinstalled the Office 2003 program but the problem still exists. |

Can't SAVE files to Folders from EXCEL (and WORD)
I was having the exact same problem. saw this on another forum and it seems
to have helped! Ive copied and pasted it. I downloaded the update that was released on april 25! Hope this helps! And i hope my problem doesnt re-occur its so annoyin!!! See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918165 "Problems in Windows Explorer or the Windows shell after you install security update MS06-015". If you aren't comfortable with editing the Windows registry yourself, then go to http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and scroll down to Item No. 383 "Hewlett-Packard's Share-to-Web software - Fix". Download and run the script to automatically modify your registry as described in KB918165. You may need to temporarily disable your antivirus program in order to run the script. A revised version of the MS06-015 update was released on April 25 that supposedly interacts better with the older HP and nVidia software. You can download the revised update from http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../ms06-015.mspx . Some people may suggest that you uninstall the MS06-015 update, or rename the c:\windows\system32\verclsid.exe file. Doing either of these things will leave your computer vulnerable to the security issue described at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../ms06-015.mspx . |
