problem opening documents

H

Hannah

All of the sudden, my word 2002 crashes everytime I try to open a document
(or save for that matter) from within the program. In other words, if I
click open and the dialog box of my docs appears, and then I double clikc on
something - the whoel program just freezes....same things happen when I try
to save and click on a sub folder in order to save in something more specific
then my docs. ANY IDEAS???

Mine is doing the same thing. I'm able to open documents from "My Computer",
but not while I'm actually in Word...how did you fix it?

Two things to try:
1. Right-click on the My Computer icon on the Windows
desktop, left-click on Disconnect Network Drive, and disconnect
any mapped drives that are not currently available.
2. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918165 "Problems in
Windows Explorer or the Windows shell after you install security
update MS06-015".
