After altering the content of a file, I try to save under a new name - Excel
locks up on me and I have to use task manager to close down - losing all the
information in the new file? Anyone had this happen - this is a new
phenomenon for me.

This is a result of a bug in the MS06-015 security update. Here is the
automated fix.

Go to the following website:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Click the link on line 383 (right hand side). This will download the HP's
Share to web software-fix file.

Double click the downloaded file to run. This will automatically fix the
problems caused by the Security Update MS06-015 as detailed in "Problems in
Windows Explorer or the Windows shell after you install security update
MS06-015".
