After installing SP2 several months ago I encountered a number of
OS-related problems that were fixed by help from Microsoft's tech
support group in India by doing an XP command line re-install.
Following that most everything started working again but now if I move
a file from one directory to another I sometimes can no longer open it.
I was hoping Vista was going to be out now so I could dump XP and start
from scratch, but with the delay of Vista's release I now need to find
a solution to this problem. Also, I now have an Excel file I need to
open and when I try to open it I get this error message: "The document
may be read-on or encrypted." I also occassionally have trouble
renaming/moving/deleting folders, which tells me this is likely a
permissions problem. Searching Groogle Groups I've found quite a few
postings related to my problem but no solutions. Any help anyone could
provide would be appreciated.
