Save as hangs the application (IE, all office products)

[Guest]

When I try to use "Save As" the application hangs. This has happend the
recent days after some "Windows Update" I think. I restored to an earlier
system configuartion a week ago as it did not work at that moment either. I
had the system to work but after some "Windows updates" during the week I
have the same problem again. Do you know what the "real" problem is and how I
can avoid it ?

Hi Carey!
I do not have any problem accessing and open files in "My Documents", "My
Pictures" or any other folder. The problem I have is to use "Save As" and in
"Internet Explorer" I can not use the scroll bar where the history web-pages
can be found. But the amazing thing is that the "History" button works in IE.

Thanks for your answer!
