Why I got "Server busy" warning?
Hi, I used to use Word 2000, and recently, I frequently got "Server busy"
warning when open a dialog such as modify format,print or insert symbol. I tried a lot to eliminate this problem by uninstall and reinstall Office even clear my computer by reinstall the system, but this still frequently happening. When it happening, a message to ask "switch to" or "cancel", but no matter what to chose, it just takes time and I cannot use the dialog. For this reason, I uninstalled the Office 2000 and installed Office 2003, but today this happened again when I tried to insert a symbol. This just happen in less than one year, before this, I never find Word 2000 has the problem. Anyone has the same experience? and any solution for sharing? Thanks! |

Do you have a printer driver installed locally on your computer? This sounds
like a network printer problem to me. If you only have a network printer, try installing the printer locally: it doesn't matter that you don't have a local printer - only that Word 'think' you have one and can see the local printer driver. -- Terry Farrell - Word MVP http://word.mvps.org/ "gz" wrote in message ... : Hi, I used to use Word 2000, and recently, I frequently got "Server busy" : warning when open a dialog such as modify format,print or insert symbol.

Thank you for the explanation. I do have local printer installed on this
machine but did not set it as default. I now set it as default and see if it still has this problem or not. I hope MS change this in the future, only when needed then check the printer's existing.

Unfortunately, Word needs to see the printer driver in order to lay out a
document. If the network printer is queued on a server, then if it is unavailable, Word won't know what to do. Terry "gz" wrote in message ... : Thank you for the explanation.
