Problem Saving New Documents

[Green]

The problem started about three weeks ago. When I save a new document the My
Documents screen appears. If I just hit save or Enter the document is saved
immediately. If, however, I want to save it to a folder or change the
document name the system freezes (not responding notice comes up). At first
I closed the program (losing the document) but after a week of that nonsense
I found that if I waited for about a minute the save program responds in the
normal fashion. Obviously there is a conflict somewhere. Is there an easy
fix? I have Windows XP Pro and Office XP pro.

Do you happen to have some network mapping 'left over' from about three
weeks ago, that currently is no longer available??
That would do it, ie. 'stall' until the OS decides it is no longer there
