From: Emily s on 8 Sep 2009 18:02 Hi I have had the same propblem. I have windows vista and have just got a new laptop. I open a word doc and this message comes up 'Word could not create the work file. check the temp environment variable' I also have a Western Digital external hard disk. So I think this maybe one of the things that are caursing the problem. The only problem is that I am no good with computers. In order for me to fix it what would the first step. mistersaxon(a)cix.co.uk has suggested to Check the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software \Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders and look for the Cache, Favourites, History and Cookies entries. but I do not know how to do that... Other suggestions say to do HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Cache\ %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files If anyone can help within the next 24hrs ill be very greatful!

From: ginny_le on 6 Oct 2009 06:33 I also have WD portable drive and this is 2nd times it happens to me. [*Emily*] I don't know how to change registry either. My friend helped me kindda like the way [Susan Ramlet] #4 said and it worked well. Try it Emily. Open *Internet Explorer*, *Tool*>*Internet Options*, in *General*>*Settings*. If the *Current location* is not *C:\WINDOWS\Temp\Temporary Internet Files*, click *Move Folder* and change it to *C:\WINDOWS\Temp\Temporary Internet Files*. Then click *OK* and *Apply* -- ginny_le ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ginny_le's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/141572.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/ms-office-support/653895.htm http://forums.techarena.in
From: Rusty Norman on 6 Oct 2009 08:08 Ginny, Thanks for your prompt response. I will have to fall on the stake of Ignorance. I am more of a user - not technical. Essentially the message reads Error reading from the file: D:\PFiles\MSOffice\1033\LVREG.DLL . The program files were corrupted by a virus and the computer had to be re-imaged. Restoral disks were lost during a move, but came originally from Dell (a couple of years ago) as part of an AT&T employee concession program. Thanks -- Rusty Norman "unknown" wrote: >
