I have searched and searched the internet and different forums and foun
multiple references to this problem but no solution. Maybe someone her
can help me.
Current computer: Windows 7 with Office 2007. The Windows wa
upgraded from Vista just last night.
Network: Buffalo network drive (fat32 based system)
Problem: Cannot open any office document directly, get the messag
either that the file is "in use" or "locked for editing" by someon
else. This started with Vista, I had hoped that upgrading it to Window
7 would cure it but it hasn't. I can open the files by the roundabou
method: open up the program first, then select the file and open a
"read-only". This is a problem for Word files and Excel files, haven'
tried any other office documents. PDFs, picture files, and videos ar
not affected.
The funny thing is, my other laptop, with WinXP and Office 2003 has n
such problems, it opens all documents without a hitch.
Any help? I've found a couple references to some regedit hacks on th
Microsoft support site but so far nothing I've tried has fixed it.
Oh, and this occurs even when I stop all anti-virus protection - usin
Avast Home Antivirus.
