How can I get Word 97 Save as to a removeable drive to work again?

Walt R.

In Word 97, I have previouly not had a problem using Save as to copy an
Office 97 document to a removeable drive as a back up to my normal files. Now
i get a message that says Save-as is not responding. I do not know of any
change to the computer to cause this.
The Save function works properly.
I have removed Office 97 and reinstalled but that did not help the problem.

See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918165 "Problems in Windows
Explorer or the Windows shell after you install security update
MS06-015".

If you aren't comfortable with editing the Windows registry
yourself, then go to
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and scroll
down to Item No. 383 "Hewlett-Packard's Share-to-Web software -
Fix". Download and run the script to automatically modify your
registry as described in KB918165. You may need to temporarily
disable your antivirus program in order to run the script.

A revised version of the MS06-015 update was released today that
supposedly interacts better with the older HP and nVidia
software. You can download the revised update from
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms06-015.mspx .
