Dear All,
I have Office 2007 SP2 on Windows 7 Ultimate updated to date. I use the free Comodo Internet Security Suite.
Every Office file I open, opens as Read-Only. This happens with files from an older slave disk from XP SP3. I’ve tried to dig but taking ownership, changing attributes, opening with edit from context menus and changing permissions hasn’t really worked.
Disk checks found no errors.
Search found no temp files that might be causing problems.
Analysis of Process Monitor Logs by an MVP found that Word encounters a ?file locked? error when opening the file.
Running Word as Administrator prompts to open read-only. Selecting “No” opens the file correctly. This is different from the response I received earlier running it as Administrator and with compatibility to XP SP3 (my earlier OS), which hadn’t helped.
The ?read-only? bit for the files does not reset when I open it running Word as administrator.
Any suggestions would be deeply appreciated!
Regards,
MFK.
