Re: Publisher/Word locks up when inserting pictures from files

Mary Sauer,
Thank you! The Kelly's Korner download seems to have fixed the problem.
I had tried the register dword fix as outlined in one of the previous
emails. Perhaps I copied the number wrong. Either way, it seems to be
there now.

Thanks to all who assisted, suggested and expressed interest.

John Inzer,
Thanks for the input. Unfortunately it didn't help. I'm beginning to
wonder if this is a HP - Windows issue as a third party database has the same
problem when inserting pictures from files. I called them and they felt it
was a pop up blocker. But after clearing all blockers (and caches), the
problem remained and they are quite puzzeled (as am I).

Like I wrote - its suspicously timed with my home network. I really hate to
back it all out but ....

Hope someone out there has some more syggestions.
thanks,
Jael

2000 & Word 2000 on same computer are ok. Norton's
antivirus can not find anything
nor was anything indicated by spy sweeper. Uininstalled
Office 2003 and re- installed - no help. Using an HP
3GHz Windows XP for home editions on a small office net
with one other computer (compaq), cable modem and two
printers. This has been working since last December.
However the network was installed last month. Any
suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
