If you are using Symantec/Norton AntiVirus, try disabling the
Office Plugin that comes with it (but don't disable Norton
AutoProtect). See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=329820 "How
to use Office programs with the Norton AntiVirus Office plug-in"
for more information.
That worked for me, thanks. I have the new Norton Internet Security 2007 and
the problem still occurs. Hope MS will get it cleared up before production.
