office 2003 locks up when "saving as"

this is an odd one.

When I'm creating (and sometimes opening) a document, office 2003 will
freeze.

Now I've installed Office 2003 sp3 and all other critical updates.

what's particualrly odd is that I have gone in and specified where I
want Office to automatically pull from and save to. But whenever it
finally unfreezes, it's not pointing to where I told it to.

My desired file location is there how I typed it (Tools-Options-File-
Locations-Documents) but it's not going there. And I suppose this
conflict is what's causing it to lock up.

SO - would this be pulling from some other place (All users, perhaps)
and I haven't haven't directed it there yet?

Many thanks
