Office XP with SP-2 cannot find the files

[Srinivas Kandala]

Folks,

For some weird reason, today I've decided that I should
download SP-2. I did and the installation went smoothly.

Then I try to open a document in Word and to my horror,
it says, "The file xxx is not available." I try opening
another document using power point - same message. Same
result for Excel. Of course all the files are where they
are supposed to be.

Outlook appears to be working, but again I cannot open
any attached office document.

I would greatly appreciate any help you can provide.

Please reply on the newsgroup or send email to
(e-mail address removed).

Thanks.
Regards,
srini

Srini,

Is the result the same in File=>Open in Word as in opening
a file from Windows Explorer?

If you're using Norton Antivirus is it current and
do you get the same result if you turn off the Office AV
plug in?
