On my Word program it keeps hanging up on the A:\ drive when i open the
application up. It also, does this when I open Outlook. It is my
understanding the Word is the editor for Outlook, so it's is a Word problem.
However, I have tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the entire Office
2003 suite as well as trying to repair it. Intially all i had to do was
enter in a disc and it would work. That no longer seems to be the case. Any
clues/suggestsion as to what is happening?
 
Hi Dan-

If you mean that you are directly opening a file on a floppy disk & haven't
had a similar problem before now, consider yourself VERY fortunate. It is
strongly recommended that files on any removable media be copied to your hard
drive and opened/edited from there. Copy them back to the other media when
done, if necessary for archiving backups or transporting to another system.

This is not exclusive to Word, but files opened from removable media are
very easily damaged/corrupted.

Try copying the file to your HD and opening it from there.
