fixitplz

i just recently reformatted the hard drive on my computer, and reinstalled
windows XP, as well as Office 97 (only edition i can dig up). the computer is
part of a home office network of two computers. everything seems to be going
well, except when i open any word or excel documents, a pop-up appears saying

[C:\directory\File Name] is being used by [my user name]. Do you want to
make a copy?

what is causing this, and how can i make it go away?

unfortunately, no, i do not have any anti-virus software installed currently
If you're using Symantec/Norton AntiVirus, try disabling the
Office Plugin that comes with it. See
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=329820 "How to use Office
programs with the Norton AntiVirus Office plug-in" for more
information.
