Word - not saving and not attaching in emails. Any ideas?

I am using word. Suddenly I can't use the "save as" feature, or when I am
emailing I can't attach stuff - the system just locks up.

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.

thanks for that - I'll have a go with the kellys korner - editing the
registry scares me stiff. Why do updates cause such problems for us?!

Dear garfield-n-odie",
many thanks - it seems to have worked a treat. I wasted hours on the Hewlett
Packard help line this afternoon and now it is sorted in 5 mins thanks to you.
