Word could not create the work file...

A

Ainur

I googled many solutions to the problem, and still have Word 2007 showing
the message:
"Word could not create the work file. Check the temp environment variable."
I'm not annoyed by the message itself, byt I noted that some large files do
not open, and some files open but instead of showing the images in them it
shows:
"The image cannot be displayed. Your computer may not have enough memory to
open the image, or the image have been corrupted. Restart your computer, and
then open the file again. If the red x still appears, you may have to delete
the image and then insert it again."

I tried to rename the Data subkey in the registry and renaming the
Normal.dot, but after starting Word it hang for more than 10 minutes and I
had to kill the process using Task Manager. It started working again after
several restarts, but the startup error persisted.
I tried to switch off all of the COM Add-ins using the Word Options ->
Add-ins - Manage COM Add-ins, and it didn't help.
I reinstalled MS Office, and it had no effect also...

BTW - my "C:\Users" directory is compressed...

Any ideas about how to solve this would be appreciated...
Thank you!
