How do I resolve Save and Open Errors in Office applications?
LockedThe short version is that whenever I try to open or save in either MS Office 2007 or Open Office on a Win7 x64 system, I get the following errors:
‘C:\’ is currently unavailable.
OR
::{031E4825- … }Documents.library-ms\ refers to a location that is unavailable.Here is what I think may have caused it, but I don’t understand any of the mechanics:
I mounted an eSata drive and found many My documents type folders from my local drive somehow appearing on this drive as well. My anti-virus appeared to also scan my local drive in those places when it was told to scan the eSata drive. 7-zip seemed to also zip the local information together with the eSata data when the forders (links?) to the local My Documents folders were also selected. They seemed to be links, so I deleted them (without holding the shift key). I can not seen any evidence of them in the Recycle Bin at this time. After unmounting the drive, I navigated to My documents, etc. on the local drive and found everything as it should be. After launching MS Office (or Open Office), I found that when I saved, the system lagged for a bit and then brought up a save dialog window with only the top and bottom portion (no contents or shortcuts shown). Clicking cancel terminates MS Office, but not Open Office. MS Office seemed to function fine with the open dialog box but Open Office did not. Clicking to navigate to other urls in the dialog box url bar produces the error messages above. What is going on and how do I fix this problem? Do I need to reconstruct the links or “junctions” or whatever they were?
