Same problem here. Using Norton AV 2007 I disabled the MS Office start up
virus scan and all is working good now - but not ideal!

I have the same problem... I have submitted a message to the Dev team's
Blog... I will post the response (If I recieve one)... Other than a few minor
issues like this, I am fairly happy with the new versions of the Office suite.

Happy bug hunting!

Hello all,
Up until a couple of hours ago- everything worked great- using the beta 2007
ms office. I just updated the beta version with the Beta2 teachnical
refresh- & I can't open any excel files or word files- not one! the error
says that there is a conflict with my anti -virus program & that the file is
corrupted, so I disabled the anti-virus program& tried to open them again-
same problem- every single file effected. Has anyone else encountered this
problem? Any solutions?
