Can't write/save Word 2000 documents to a 1 GB Lexmar USB flash drive/stick?
Hello,
I have a weird issue with my father's old Toshiba Satellite laptop/notebook with old Windows 98 SE (all critical updates; OEM). He seems to have problems saving Word 2000 SP-3 (all updates) documents to an USB flash drive/stick (Lexmar 1 GB; FAT32; E: drive). He had it opened and saved on C: drive (HDD) and wanted to save to there. He keeps getting "directory not found" errors. We tried shorter filenames (e.g., test.doc) since he originally had a very long name, but that didn't help. Then, we tried using Windows Explorer to do copies from C: to E:, but that failed with the same error as well. Also, please note that was in the root directory of E: and the filenames he was trying to save are in English. I did noticed there were a bunch of other documents and folders/directories on E: that were like ______ because they were in Chinese (using IME?) in Windows 2000 and XP operating systems since he uses multiple computers. It seems like Windows 98 can't read these foreign names even though TwinBridge v4.98 (Chinese displayer and writer) is installed? These NT5 OS' use Office 2002/XP and 2003 with their latest service packs and patches. Are there incompatibilites with this setup to cause these save errors? Thank you in advance.
