    Right, this is for a friend of mine who is no computer expert, so everything I say here is just what she's told me.

    Basically, she can't save work in Word. When she tries to save something it says "Cannot save because the file is read-only" or something along those lines. But the file isn't read only.
    Saving works fine onto floppy discs.
    She's done a virus scan.


    I know it's pretty limited information, but if anyone knows what the problem might be, great :)
