Office 2007 error cannot create work file
I had just done with the upgrade installation of Microsoft Office 2007. I installed the same on Office 2003. The upgrade files are proper. There is no issue with the setup. But when I try to save the file I am getting a weird error on the screen. The error is related to some could not create the work file. That simply means it is not able to save the file and it is really very annoying. I had restarted the system a number of time but still the problem lies the same.
Try set your systen enviorment temp
Try set your system enviorment in registry.
check "Cahce" and make sure it points to a valid read/writeable location,Temp folder or Internet temp folder (and if you don't want your mail to be readable by security issue, place them on a crypted location, cause this is so stupid by outlook)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
This worked for me (Outlook 2007).
I registered just for this answer ;).. don't expect replies.
Registry Editing???? Huh?
Yeah, same problem. But, I need much more detail in fixing the registry!
Post above was Greek Cyrilic to me.

I had the same problem. Thanks to Robbie who posted on this forum on top, I managed to fix it. In my case this was due to synchronization which happened between my laptop and another backup device. Backup device has f***up software and it has overwritten my variables. By changing the temp variables in registry it works as a baby agian.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

I realize that to most of you, working with registeries is common place, but for those of use who have never tweaked with a Registry before, could you perhaps provide some instruction on how to perform what you just mentioned.
