Problem with MS 2003 and Windows 7

For some years I have been running my small office using a Mesh computer with MS Office 2003. Files have been stored on the internal hard drive and automativally backed up on an Iomega external hard drive.

I have just moved on to a new computer running Windows 7, 64-bit.
I have loaded MS 2003 and it seems to work well (to an extent)
I have created a new set of folders applicable to the business.
I have transferred the files from the old Mesh computer by moving the Iomega drive over and dragging the files to the now computer.
All well so far !
However, when for example I create a new Word file (only file created so far) and then attempt to save it in the newlt created folder I get a message come up saying that it cannot be saved as the disc 'may be full, write protected or damaged'.
However again, I can store the file on either a CD or a Memory stick and then drag it into the appropriate folder.

What can/should I do ?

Thanks,

Allen

I tried what you suggested but got a note come up saying that I didn't have permission to store to that folder.

The Iomega HD seems to work fine . I couldn't get the auto-backup software lpoaded as it said it was 32-bit and my system was 64-bit. However, all filed dragged across okay and can be opened okay. The problem lies with saving directly on the C drive.

Thanks,

Golden, definitely !!!

I followed the links you suggested and my computer now stores the files.

Accept my sincere thanks,

Allen
