File Open/Save Dialog not responding
I upgraded to Vista Ultimate from Windows XP Pro with Office XP. Since
then I have not been able to open or save any document in Office or IE.
The dialog opens then just stops responding. I thought it was a
compatibility issue with Office XP and vista and so I upgraded to Office
2007.
But the problem has not gone away.
This is so anoying that I am unable to perform everyday functions and
am seriously thinking to downgrade to XP Pro.
I am attaching 2 images from dialog hangs. (just attaching was tricky
because the attachment dialog also hung)
anyone has any ideas would be much appreciated.

Re: File Open/Save Dialog not responding
Thanks everybody for the input. I tried both ideas to no avail. My
laptop was not on a domain but a workgroup. I also have disconnected all
network drives thinking if one of them is hanging the dialog.
However, application does not hang in two cases:
1: If the application is not using windows dialog box (in case of
photoshop cs3).
2: If the application is not using the extended dialog box (like
Notepad)
I hope that helps, Basicly all microsoft applications are hanging on
save.

I had the same issue and it took me forever to figure out! Appearantly
the new KB937287 update changes the registry file for Word. To fix it
you have to delete a file. Follow the instructions here: 'You may
experience several problems after you install an automatic update for
Word 2007 on a Windows Vista-based computer'

Deleting bad mapped drive links resolved the issue.
