office 2003 does not open documents

[Sherwood Daniels]

Hi,

I installed Microsoft Office Professional 2003 Enterprise
Edition (CD and key from MSDN) on my home computer
(WinXP Home, FAT32, patches completely up to date per
Windows Update). I am logged on as a computer
administrator.

I have tons of docs created in Office97 and none of apps
will open these old docs. In addition, if I create a new
document in one of the 2003 apps, close it, and then try
to reopen it in the 2003 app, I get the message

"The file <filename> is not available."

This is a file that I have just selected from the File >
Open dialog.

Has anyone else seen this behavior. Does Office2003
Enterprise require NTFS or a domain controller in order to
work?

Thanks.

It was a problem with Norton Antivirus 2002, not Office.
I uninstalled/reinstalled NAV and now Office works.
