Word 2000 opens docs in read only
Hi Guys, I'm new to this forum.
Can anyone help me please
I have win7 ultimate and still use word 2000, always worked well to my satisfaction.
Yesterday suddenly all word documents only open as read only, even though all read only attributes are UNCHECKED.
But if I copy the same document to an SD card and open it from there, it is not read only and acts normally, the problem only seems to exist if I open a word document from my documents on the hard drive
I've tried re installing word but still the same.
I did a retore point and it cured the problem for a few minutes, but the problem returned.
I have reset any attribute I can find to read write, I have granted all permissions, but the problem still exists.
Is it possible I have a virus of some sort causing this, hoping I don't have to do a clean install to fix it.
Hoping someone can help
Regard all
