Word abruptly quits

This problem occurs in all Office Applications.

A document is created with no issues.
If I want to save the file to the default directory, I go
to FILE, the select SAVEAS, It can be saved in the
default folder and named anything I want.

However, If I want to save the file to any other folder
than the default, when I go to FILE, the select
SAVEAS,....

When I click on the drop down menu item to list file
drive/folder names (such as if I want to save to the A:
drive), on clicking on the pull down menu arrow button,
the application QUITS. Its gone! No error messages, no
file is saved, it just disappears without notice.

This is repeatable in all MS Office applications.

If I try to open NOTEPAD.EXE or WORDPAD.EXE and type
something, the FILE/SAVEAS and select a drive, the drive
list will drop down just like its supposed to.

Office has been entirely uninstalled, the pc shut down,
restarted, and office full reinstall.

Same stuff still happens.

Any suggestions or ideas??

Thanks for the reference. I'll try it later today.
Just for info, the OS is Windows 2000 and the MS Office
version is XP. I don't beleive any FTP sites are involved
(the user doesn't even know what FTP is). But I'll try
your suggestion anyway.
