448170 2006-04-21 03:25:00 word from msoffice 2003 .....works fine except for the following: when one tries to use file/open to open any document you get the 'hourglass' and taskmanager shows word not responding......i've tried 'repair' and reinstall and defrag, and renaming normal.dot, and running a bat file designed to restore all the system file association defaults; none of these made any difference. Oh yeh this also affects excell. Other than that the programs work fine. Anyone come across this one ? drcspy (146)
448171 2006-04-21 03:36:00 It sounds like the following is messed up
* HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\Comdlg32

winword.exe /a (note there is a space between ...exe and /a

448175 2006-04-21 05:37:00 Hi drcspy, sounds rather like the problem 'ephesus' posted a couple of days back, doesn't appear to have been resolved for them either... I notice you are both using different vers. of Office as well...
