Help! One of my PC's has XP Pro, and in the past 3-4 weeks I lost the
functionality to use the "Save As" option in Word 2003, and also in
Outlook I cannot insert a file  using the "Look In" drop-down.

When I click the "Save As" picklist the drop-down disappears and then
the app freezes. I have to ctrl-alt-del to kill it.

When I click "Look In" for Outlook it just freezes. Again I have to
ctrl-alt-del.

My workaround for both is to use the folder with the up arrow on it,
but since I've been using Word fro 12 years it is hard to untrain my
habits.

I
I uninstalled some Windows updates that I thought might have been the
culprit, but that did not help. I did the "Detect/Repair" for both, but
that didn't help. Help!

Thanks,
