Saving As freezes office Word,Excel, Powerpoint..etc
Hello,
I have a problem I have never come across with Windows. Any time I open a Word, Excel, or Powerpoint my office application hangs for a couple of seconds (10-15 secs) It only does this when saving to a network drive. I would fault this to the network but it just so happens that this only happens on one computer on the network and that is this particular PC. This PC is running Windows XP SP3 and Office 2003 SP3 (all freshly installed) with ALL the latest patches. There are no addins to worry about or suspicious software intalled as it is only use to view Email, create Excel documets and view some Powerpoint presentation. Is it a bad MS patch I am not aware of? Help Please! Thanks -AC |

Check to ensure that all drive mapping on that computer is valid and that
there are no legacy dead mappings. Terry Farrell "KidTech" wrote in message ... Hello, I have a problem I have never come across with Windows.

This only happens with Office...if i were to save as with any other app on any network drive this will not happend but as soon as I open any MS Office application and try to save as and start typing the name of the the file to save as it hangs for about 15 seconds the cursor then reappears and as soon as you type again it disappears. Eventually you are able to save a document but it just takes that much more time to save. -Kidtech |

Start Word in Safe Mode and test saving to the network. From Start, Run,
type in winword /a and press enter. Open a new blank document, type a few words and then test saving to the network. What happens? Terry "KidTech" wrote in message ...
