I have the same problem as Robin. I have two users. User 1 has Windows 2000
and Office 2000 and user 2 has Windows 2000 and Office 2003. Both have been
doing the same routine for years without a problem. All of a sudden they both
have problem with Office freezing when saving to floppy. User 1 is using
Excel and user 2 with Word. I know everyone says don't save directly to
floppy but these users do. The problem is from a Windows Update but I don't
know which one. Can anyone help figure this out? Thanks!

I have windows XP and Excel 2003 with all the latest service packs. When I am
trying to save an excel file to a floppy it always lock up after 3 or 4
times. Excel will just crash and it would take a restart of the whole
computer before it will act right. I have tried other floppies, copying a
different file all together from excel, swapping drives, reinstalling the
whole office suite, reinstalling McAfee Virus Scan, etc. I did notice that it
is something with excel and the floppy drive as a whole because I could copy
all day long to the floppy random files from word, my c drive, a few files
from excel (but not consecuetive .xls files in a row), and shortcuts, etc. I
could copy .xls file to anyother drive i.e. bonzai (jump drive) that I have
just not the floppy drive.

Can you please help me to figure out why excel keeps crashing copying to a
floppy?
