Save As dialog in MS Office hangs

[Guest Thorbjorn Sundboe]

Hi,

 

When I try to use the Save As dialog from Word, Excel or Powerpoint 2003, my

system hangs for a long time when I try to choose destination folder in the

"Save in" drop down. The drop down where I see the folder goes completely

grey, I do not even see the folder frield anymore. After 1-3 minutes, it

comes back. Then, when I choose folders or shortcuts in the folder list, it

can take the same amount of time for each folder in the hierarchy I click

on.

 

I should have a very clean system, I have licensed software to clean

registry, temp files, background programs and other resource culprits. I

have defragged, ran checkdisk, etc. I am running a Thinkpad C2Duo with 2 GB

RAM.

 

Any idea what the matter could be?

 

Cheers, Thorbjorn

MS Office has its own dialog boxes (open, save, print etc.) and does not

use the WinXP common dialogs. Repost your problem to this group:

Open My Computer, right click on any Drives that are unavailable, and

then select Disconnect.
