"save as" not responding
"save as" has been working fine in the past for me, but for some reason i
can't use "save as" to save my documents to my usb anymore. everytime i want to save the document, and i click on the usb link in the folder, the system stops. Then the screen goes "save as not responding". does anyone know what's wrong, and how i can fix it? thanks. |

"save as" not responding
Your problem is almost certainly a recent Window update.
For immediate purposes, go to the Add/Remove programs control panel and click on the box to show updates (top right). Down near the bottom are Windows updates. You are looking for "Security Update for Windows XP (KB908531)". Unistall this. Keep reading these newsgroups and search for that number. You will see other things you can do as well. The update works for some people, including me, without problems for others it causes the problems you are seeing. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome!

This is good, but you should try reinstalling the update and following the
instructions at http://groups.google.com/group/micro...4143b42d0c3ca2 and http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=918165. If they work for you, you get to keep the security offered by the patch and still use your system. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome!

"save as" not responding
Charles, I haven't read through all of your referenced links but I did get
enough info to effect a solution. On comment I saw referenced HP product (don't remember if it was one of your threads or not) Anyway, being an HP user, I went to HP support. THey gave me a patch which seems to have fixed the save as problem (I am a cynic, so I am sure I lost soemthing in the process, but I don't know what it is yet.) I will deal with that when I discover it, but as for now, any HP users should go to HP support for a "fix" Thanks for your experience and insight.
