Maurice:
Suddenly I could not use "Open" or "Save As" in any of my MS programs (Word,
Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, etc.). The programs stop responding if I use
those commands. Also, when I type in an address in IE and hit "Enter," the
program just hangs and will not go to the page I am looking for.
I was talking to a friend this afternoon, who reported the same thing
happening to her, and she also cannot use "Open" or "Save As" in MS Digital
Image Suite.
It only took me a few days to figure out that it was one of the MS updates
that was causing my problem, but it was not until I read your post that I was
able to pinpoint exactly which one. I hope the fix on Tuesday really does!
:-)
