    Office or lotus? You said both.

    Old version? New Version?

    If your getting can't write to drive C: thats a bad sign. YOu can try doing a scandisk and through sector check to make sure your drive is working alright. Also its a low possibility but your drive could be locked somehow. I've seen it RARELY before. You just run "lock c:" at a prompt. It will ask if your sure you want to give FULL access to the system and you of course would answer "YES".

    Good Luck!
