heading over to take a look

UCS is closed during the weekend, so likely
monday.  I have class from 8 to 9.  If you can
drop off the laptop with the Service Request Desk,
they can get it to the tech in box.  If that
doesn't work for you, you can try a drop-by and
wait, but your mileage may vary....
 
 
thanks,

Hi Joe:
 
All of a sudden, from yesterday, I have a HUGE
problem with all of the MS Office applications
that came with the laptop that I use .... 
I am not able to save files.  I can't open files.  
whenever I want to open or save files the
program--be it Word or Excel--gets stuck.  In the
attached screen shots you will see what I
typically see when I try to open/save files in
Word and Excel....  I am able to save/open
documents in the default directory it gives me,
but if I try navigating to any other directory
then the program freezes.
 
I don't have any such problem with other programs.
 It is only with the MS Office.
 
Yesterday when I plugged my laptop on at work, it
reported after a while that some update had been
completed, and it kept annoying me with rebooting.
 It was after rebooting that this problem
surfaced, and I did not think much about it
because I was rushing from meetings to meetings. 
But, now I see that this is a hell of a problem ....  
 
Am working from home today.  If this is a problem
that you need to see to understand./troubleshoot,
then I will be on campus tomorrow for Preview Day,
from 9:00 to 2:00.  Let me know if I should bring
the laptop with me tomorrow.  If not, then on
Monday ....
