Doesn't this exposure you to security problems. And also, could this cause
additional problems? Why can't Microsoft fix this.

Hi David:

You can remove the offending update from Add/Remove Programs, where it
shows
as "Security Update for Windows XP (KB908531)". Make sure the "show
updates"
box at the top is ticked or you won't see hotfixes in the list.

I was able to save a file to the "My Documents" folder. The same
thing
happened to my Word Program. This all happened after I did the latest
security update to the XP program. I "removed" and then reinstalled
the
Office 2003 program but the problem still exists.
