Default Word 2007 crash when saving

Hi
When I try to save a Word 2007 document produced on my laptop to my
wirelessly networked PC hard drive the PC where I am saving the
document to crashes everytime.
I am able to save to my laptop hard drive, and I am also able to save
any other type of file to the networked drive. I have also tried to
save in either word 2007 standard format and the 2003 compatible
format, but I still have the same problems.
I have uninstalled 2007 at the moment, re-installed 2003 and
everything is fine.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks

You should not try to save to any type of removable media. Always save to
your local HDD and the COPY to the media.

Default Word 2007 crash when saving

Hiya
I'm not trying to save to removable media, I'm trying to save to a
drive that I use on the desktop PC, but via wireless networking to a
shared drive. I can save the document to any other drive on this or
indeed another laptop which is also networked, but not my usual drive
that contains all my stuff.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

What happens if you select to save as plain text or as PDF from Word 2007 to
the shared drive?

Can you open a document already on the share? Can you edit it and save it?

Thanks for your help Terry.
It appears that there was something wrong with the hard drive. I
copied my files to a different drive, re-formatted the problem drive,
copied the files back and everything is OK.
Thanks again

Default Word 2007 crash when saving


In my case it is simply that Word 2007 was working fine. One day it decided
to stop. When restarted it had saved a couple of files as "recovered files."
Since then every time I try to save a file... it stops responding. No matter
how I try to save a file it stops responding. Basically, Word 2007 has become
no more useful than an Etch-a-Sketch for me. I have looked for updates -
none. It is bad enough that the user interface is a backwards step from
Office 2003, now it has become useless until I can get this problem fixed.
HELP!
