Office XP APPS Hang When Saving to Floppy

[Ruteger]

I have Office XP installed on Windows 2000 Pro (SP4), and whenever I save a
file (.doc or .txt) I have created back to the floppy, the machine hangs and
must be rebooted.

This is a recent occurence, and has been verified on serveral different
machines . I believe it to be related to a MS patch, because when I uninstall
the Rollup 1 patch that was recentley introduced, saving files works
properly. When I reinstall the Rollup 1 patch, the problem comes back.

Before this discovery, I deleted all temp files, and scanned for
viruses/spyware. Even uninstalled/reinstalled Office and the OS to no avail.

This problem does not happen when saving to the HD or when I use Notepad or
Wordpad to save files.

Anyone know about this bug?

Thanks,

Just posted a message on an identical problem. Have several machines with the
same problem. All Win2K SP4 machines, some with Office XP, some with Office
2000.

Don't ever save directly to a floppy or any other form of removable media
unless you want a corrupt document. Always save to the HD, then Copy or Send
to the floppy.

I'm watching this topic, too. Someone at another forum has this same issue.
