File Saves Word 97
Word 97 running on XP, Sony Vaio TV-PC. Word 97 running well until recently.
When trying to save a file (FileSave As), the dialogue box opens but without any previously saved files showing . It takes ages (probably 30 to 45 secs) for the list of files in that directory to appear. Egg timer on in the meantime. When it does populate, you can save the file OK. Swapping to another directory from the default directory also takes ages. Plenty of memory (512Mb) and plenty free. Also huge amount of free disk space. PC generally isn't used for anything else at all. Using windows explorer to look at directories etc. is no problem. Opens immediately with files showing also right away. I could re-install, but intrigued to know what problem might be in case it returns after re-installation. Any advice much appreciated. Silver Beemer |

Silver, you may need to just clean up the hard drive on this PC. See:
http://www.officearticles.com/misc/h...hard_drive.htm If that doesn't help, Word could be needing some help (and it could be as simple as the normal.dot file being bad). See: http://www.officearticles.com/word/s...osoft_word.htm ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "silver beemer" wrote in message ... Word 97 running on XP, Sony Vaio TV-PC.

Right-click on the My Computer icon on the Windows desktop,
left-click on Disconnect Network Drive, and disconnect any mapped drives that are not currently available. silver beemer wrote: Word 97 running on XP, Sony Vaio TV-PC.
