Windows 10: Win 11 w/ One Drive Installed, Impacts Office 2003, will not allow "Save As"; One Drive...

On another PC, I was running Win 11 with One Drive and Office 2003 with no issue.On PC with issue, I WAS running Win 10, One Drive with Doc&DeskTop Synced and Office 2003 with no issues.After update of Win 10 PC to Win 11, ....Tested both Word 2003 and Excell 2003. Both Office 2003 applications have same issue.If I open a file from a window on either D drive or One Drive, File opens fine, but..."Save As" brings up a mostly blank window that never populates.If I hit any button on window Word/Excell stops working.To Fix, for Win 11, Un-Sync Just OneDrive "DeskTop"Then, both Excel 2003

Office 2003 & 2007

What they said.

If you can't open your documents at school do one of two things:

1.) Make sure to save them as Office 97-2003 documents when saving.
2.) Complain to your school and get them to install the compatibility pack that allows Office 2003 to open 2007 documents.

 

How in WIN 11 do I change the drive letter of the CD/ROM drive?

Thanks, Greg.

So this is what worked, step by step.

Reboot

Drive is listed as E: in file explorer.

Drive not listed in Disk Management.

Insert DVD, it plays after short pause.

Disk management now shows Audio CD as E:

Right click, change letter to R: (while playing!)

Reboot.

Drive now shows as BD-RE drive as R: in File Explorer.

The bottom line is

- File Explorer does not provide for changing drive letter afics.

- Disk Management seems to need a disk to be in the drive for it to "see" the drive. I can't recall is this is Win 10 behaviour

I don't recall having any difficulty with this in Win 10 (its possible that the Win 10 default drive allocation was "after" my external drives; or I "just changed it").

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

 

Will there be a problem w/1909 update & Office 2003?

Hi,

Got this msg when starting to update W10. I got this v of Office 2003 as zip from a site (old, obsolete software) I came across & installed it. Don't want to get into trouble. I'd buy it if I could as it's very easy to use.

I may have found an alternative, called SoftMaker Office. I'll remove it & try SoftMaker Office. Anyone have any suggestions or experience with SoftMaker Office or any other Office clone with no ribbons that will not wreck Bookmarks I have in 2 important multi page docs. And allow me to create more very similar bookmarks. I need to be able pick from a list of functions I use 20% of of the time, then place a button on a menu bar. I'm not a typist.

Regards,
