Guys, since last week I can't save any of my wordpro files. This message came out:

""Warning: Your computer is too low on temporary disk space for Word Pro to function optimally. It is suggested that you free some space (delete some files) or adjust your temporary disk space allocation. Press F1 for help."

I deleted all of the temp file in my temp folder (under c drive) and the problem still occured.

I have searched the help prog, this instruction appeared:

"Word Pro may not be able to function properly because there is insufficient disk space available on the drive holding the temporary directory. With insufficent disk space, Word Pro may not be able to correctly save documents, particularly if they contain graphics.

Make certain there is sufficient disk space available on the drive holding the temporary directory. (For information on the location of the temporary directory, see below). If necessary, move or delete some files.

• Check the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to see if there is a SET TEMP= statement. If there is not, temporary files used by Word Pro are written to the root directory of your hard disk. You may want to add a SET TEMP= statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to have temporary files placed in a particular drive or directory. An example of a SET TEMP= statement is:

SET TEMP=C:\TEMP
where \TEMP represents the directory on drive C where temporary files should be placed.

• If you already have a SET TEMP= statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, make certain the directory path specified is valid."

I'm running Lotus Smartsuite Release 9 (for Win 95, Win98, Win NT) on Win Xp Pro OS. There should not be any Autoexec.bat file to be edited right, cause my machine is on XP.

What should I do? Please help.
 
Are you still getting this problem? I had it too and I think I may have fixed it (i.e. it is no longer occurring after the following action).

Locate the wordpro.exe file (C:\lotus\wordpro\wordpro.exe)

Right click on it.
Click on "properties".
Click on "compatabilities"
Check the box labelled, "Run this program in compatability mode for:"
Select "Windows 2000"
Click on "Apply"

Hope this fixes your problem.
