Office 2007 save / save as

[Harv]

When I create a new document in any of the office 2007 applications (word,
excel, powerpoint, etc.) I cannot save or save as
All I get is an hourglass. I have to shut down the application using the
task manager.


I can edit existing documents and save them.
I just cannot create new documents from a Office 2007 application

I can create a new office document by right clicking in a folder, then
selecting new word document for example.
After the document is created in this manner, I can open it, edit it and
save it.


OS WinXP professional SP2
Office Professional Plus SP1

I have a dual boot setup with WinXP and Vista Business x64
In my Vista environment, using the same installation of office, I can save
new documents.

Having the same issue. Cannot save a newly created document. Following
Harv's directions I was able to creat a new document and save, however, this
is not the intended way of creating files. Has anyone figured out the root
cause.

My Environ:
Office 2007 SP1
Vista Home (yes, this is happening on a standalone PC I use)
