"Save as" doesn't work in Word 2007

[Guest]

If I try to "save as" a word file, the folders window will pop up. But, when
I click the arrow to get the drop down menu to pick the folder I want, a
little window pops up that says "initializing the root folders to display".
After a few seconds, the overall folders window will pop up, but when I click
on any folder, it will not select it.

So to "save as", I need to save to my desktop and then move to the folder I
want it in.

What's wrong?

Right-click on the My Computer icon on the Windows desktop, left-click
on Disconnect Network Drive, and disconnect any mapped drives that are
not currently available.

I tried, but it doesn't work. I don't have any network drive. How to fix that?

If you don't have network drives, that's not your problem.

Since you don't give us any details about your computer, software, operating
system, or problem: we can't answer.

I have a similar problem. I am running XP Tablet edition SP2. I have network
mapped drives. However, I also had those drives before installing Office
2007. I did not have this problem then. Aslo, this problem seem to appear
only with Office products. Extremely frustrated. A solution is greatly
appreciated. Thanks.

I have the same issue with an end user getting this message an not being able
to select a folder. However, she does not have any network drives that are
not available. She is trying to save a document to her personal users drive
