drop down box failure in Word & Powerpoint for Insert
When trying to insert a file all the office programs default to My documents.
When I click on the drop down arrow to scroll to another area the program will not respond and locks. Recent problem as has always worked in the past. Is there a reason this would start to happen? Could I have a bad file somewhere to cause this? -- perplexed |

See: You may experience problems in Windows Explorer or in the Windows shell
after you install security update MS06-015 http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=918165 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 today 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. You should only uninstall these if the revised patch causes the same problems and the registry edit doesn't help. For the latest info, see http://blogs.technet.com/msrc/default.aspx.
