Problem Saving to Desktop in Publisher 2000

I have a problem when I want to save a document to my desktop in
Publisher. I go to file and click save as and when I either use the up
one level feature or I browse to the desktop not only does the save
function go to not repsonding but also the entire program. It does not
happen when I save to my documents or anywhere else I browse to. I was
wondering if anyone else has the same problem, and if they would know
how to solve it.

Thanks,

Brett Peppler

Can you save it to the desktop through
C:\Documents and Settings\your name\desktop?

How about opening my computer, file, new folder, name it Publisher, right-click,
send the folder to the desktop. (Shortcut)

Yes it just started to happen. And some people have been telling me
about a HP update that makes this happen. Would anyone here have any
idea what that is all about? When I say HP I mean scanners and what
not, because I do have a HP scanner/printer connected to my computer.

It sounds like you are sharing the same problem as A LOT of other computer
users. Microsoft is going to release a fix for the fix but until them:

You may experience problems in Windows Explorer or in the Windows shell
after you install security update MS06-015
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=918165

Go to http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and scroll down to #383.
Download the "Share-to-Web Software Fix". I've been reading some positive
things about this. I've been fortunate in that I don't have that problem.
Neither my scanner nor my camera are HP and my printer doesn't have a
built-in card reader. And am I grateful!
