I sent a friend of mine that link on Friday. She is NOT computer literate at
all. She called me long distance and was thrilled. She said it took about 10
seconds to fix the problem. She was ready to take her computer to a service
tech and pay $50 just for the diagnosis.

An apt moniker indeed - you certainly like wasting hours.

If you don't want to modify the registry yourself you could use the fix
he http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/hp.vbs which is
completely
trustworthy.

Thanks for your prompt reply. I found the other relevent forum postings
and
they offer some daunting solutions that involve modifying registry files.
I
think I'll call MS tomorrow. I'll talk them into fixing it for free. I
found some automatic fixes, but I don't really trust the sites where they
come from.

When I use the keyboard shortcut Alt - F - A for Save As, the MS Word
2003
stops working. Also, if navigating My Documents after File - Open,
double
clicking on a file folder also stops MS Word 2003. I have already
downloaded
all the updates, done a "repair" and reinstalled MS Office
Professional
Eddition 2003. Nothing seems to work.
