Author Topic: VERY annoying microsoft office template problem  (Read 1392 times)

For many weeks now, there has been a very annoying popup that appears after I close any program and sometimes It just appears on its own. This is the many steps it takes to annoy the hell out of you:

1. Popup comes up saying: This file is currently in use by another application or program/MicrosoftOffice/template/normal.dot (Something like that)

2. I click ok, then it pulls up a save screen for saving document templates, in which it thinks I altered the template, when I didn't

3. I close the save screen, then it pulls up a balnk Microsoft office page, and when I close it, it says the oh so dreadful: "DO you want to save changes to template: Normal" and I say no, and then it takes like 10 seconds to close, and this happens almost after any program I close, sometimes 2 or 3 times at once.


I am requesting a little help for this, since google can't find any good links.

Edit: This happens almost each time I close a program, or that popup may appear when the comp isn't doing anything at all.

Pictures included of what it looks like.

(I show what it looks like when you close MS office with it)

That looks old. Is that 2000 or something?

The theme looks like XP.

We have Word 2003 on some of our school computers still and it looks newer than this.

The only thing that points to it being newer than 2000 is the Connect to Office Live button. The rest looks like the 2000 we have lying round somewhere.
We've also got 97 around here :P

My school has the newest word :)

but it has xp :(
