I don't know if it applies in your situation, but it you have a network drive attached, and maybe even a printer or a network neighbourhood location that is currently enumerated, but offline eg a network drive to a computer that is offline, you experience this behaviour. If you saved your last document to a flash drive or something that is now disconnected you might experience this as well, but I'm not sure. In any case check for any disconected network resources which may still be enumerated in Windows Exporer and delete or reconnect them and you should see an improvement. Time Traveller

Hi I have Office 2003 Pro on Windows XP. I have set up the handwriting recognition feature as per KB articles, however, I cannot get the "Write Anywhere" or "Writing pad" function to work, nor anything to do with handwriting recognition. I can get the drawing pad to work, but their is not handwriting recognition...I might as well open Paint Brush...about the same functionality. Do you have to have a Tablet PC OS to make this work? My Settings in Control Panel are: Handwriting Recognition *Drawing Pad *Write Anywhere *Writing Pad But the only one that works is Drawing pad. I click on the check boxes on toolbar for Writing Pad and Write Anywhere, but nothing happens, I can't write on a pad or anywhere else. If I click on the Write Anywhere or Writing pad, nothing happens, even though properties is not greyed out when WP and WA are highligted. If I click on the Add button, handwriting recognition and speech are both greyed out. From what I've read, you shouldn't need Tablet OS to make these work. My client has a Wacom drawing pad that he wants to use with these technologies, but it just aint happening for us here. Thanks in advance Time Traveller
