I've had all sorts of strange things happen in Microsoft office 2002 -
I get hung when I want to save a file & change the directory from the default.
I've had simple commands that I know work in Access not work.
I've had to retype lies of code into a new access form in order to get them to work.

I run Norton Antivirus & ad aware windows & office updates regularly.

I upgraded from Windows xp home to windows xp professional.

I'm using a Compaq Presario 2100. Is it possible that there is damage to it? Do I have to buy a new one to solve my problems? Or are there other possible explanations I can research?

When I wipe everything out & reload my computer from scratch with XP Professional, etc.. I seem to be OK for while, but then the problems start again.

Any advice would be most appreciated!
