Cannot complete save due to file permission error

[Martin Mikolajek]

Hello,

I have the aforesaid problem with the Word 2000, running on
my newly-installed Windows XP. I read the help file at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;q249859,
reinstalled Office 2000, then installed SR-1a as well as
all other important updates, renamed the old Normal.dot
file, but the error still persists. I have 4 or 5 GBytes of
free memory on my disc and 512 MB of RAM, so memory should
not be a problem. After the SR-1a update, the file with
file permission error not longer disappears from the disc
when I save it under a different name, but that does not
make the error less bothersome. I am a free-lance
translator and having to work overnight after loosing the
file due to this error a couple of days ago was quite
frustrating, so I appreciate any help.

I have exactly the same problem. It developed quite recently and I wondered
whether one of the Windows XP SP1 hotfixes was to blame. Is there a way to
remove all the hotfixes at once to test this? I don't want to have to
reinstall XP if I can help it and it's tedious removing them one at a time.
