can not save office2000 files with new name over network

[Guest]

My pc is running Win XP. In MS Word and MS Excel (office 2000) I can open
files over network from win98 machines. I can also make changes and save.
However, if I try to save with a new name I get the message:
The folder (filename with network address) isn't accessible. The folder may
be located on an unavailable volume or protected with a password.

I have downloaded all service packs.

I can find the file using windows explorer and rename it over the network.
The problem only seems to occur from my XPpro PC using the MS office
programs - pretty inconvenient through!
Anyone help?

If you installed Windows XP update KB885250 "MS05-011: Vulnerability in
server message block could allow remote code execution", try
uninstalling KB885250 in Start | Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs.

This file KB885250 is inside SP2 so have no choice to uninstall SP2 to fix my
problem...:-(

885250 was issued on the 7th Feb 2005 according to MS Site so don't see how
it could have been included in SP2

There was another thread that suggested reinstalling the patch seems to fix the
problem.

Open Control Panel and Add/Remove and open.

Checkmark the box at "Show Updates"

You will see 885250 listed.

Uninstall then re-install from MS update site.

Believe me is really inside 2 pc have same problem in different location in
the panel add/remove can see just Sp2 no other and when you click to remove a
warning message appear with the sofware or path can not work after the
uninstall and the file 855250 is there. These pc are automaticly update.

I've uninstalled SP2 now my problem is fixed but no Sp2 now. If I reinstall
do you think the file as came back ..?

 

[Guest]

Ok , now I understand why I didn't see the update file.....thank you. I never
think to check this box....;-)

 

[Gord Dibben]

What updates do you see when you "Show Updates" in Add/Remove?

SP2 removal may take out any updates you have downloaded since SP2 install but
I'm not about to experiment. I am satisfied with SP2 performance.

There were 9 updates on Feb 7th. Did you download those?

KB885250 was one of those 9.

Thanks to all for your input.

I uninstalled the Windows XP update KB885250 and that removed the problem.
However, my PC immediately informed me the Windows XP update KB885250 was
available and when I let it reinstall, the problem returned.

Do you think I should just avoid installing this update (though I think my
pc will be interupting me all day to tell me about it) or is there something
else I should try?

Hello everyone.
I have been going through this thread and followed all instructions an
uninstalled KB885250 but I am stlll having the same problem.

I run WinXP home edition, and this one particular folder which I onc
had shared on a home network now has 1000's of invisible files and som
folders. If I type in the complete path and filename for a file in th
address bar I am able to access the files or folders, but if I do
search for it, even in the command prompt the file can't be found.

Is there maye something else that I may be missing or something els
you can think of? At first I thought I had a virus, but after readin
here I am thinking otherwise. I even tried running several virus scan
but came up with nothing.

I will greatly apprecaite all your help.

Thank
