I cannot open a folder in "My Documents"

[wordsunlimited]

All of a sudden, I am unable to open any of my folders in "My Documents".
Also my spell checker is not recognizing any of my custom dictionary words.
Word often freezes up on me when I try to use any of the tools. This is a
new phenomenon. I have been trying to get my WinFaxPro to work, but this
should not affect my Word Program should it? I have scanned for a virus and
nothing was found. I am so frustrated. Can anyone help me???

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 .
