A customer is having the same problem on a Dell and I am going tomorrow to try that fix.
I will post back and let you know if it solves the problem.

---------------------------------
| Tom & John,
|
| Thank you for your generous assistance. The computer is not an HP, it's a
| DELL, but we do have HP photo handling software installed. Nevertheless I
| hesitated to use your suggestions.
|
| I worked with computers before they invented the microprocessor and I talk
| binary, octal and hex!. I know how 15ing, sorry extremely, easy it is to
| introduce problems by muddling about in obscure areas.
|
| I did, however run FP Cleaner and, this morning, the problem seems to have
| gone. I can edit pages and 'SaveAs', create and save new pages and the Open
| pane seems to work as expected.
|
| Perhaps a mod is required to stop the Copy web folder to CD instructions
| causing this problem in future.
|
| Again, thanks for your thoughts. I'll come again if I get any other
| difficulties!
