Word 2003 file open problem

Right. This is a new one on me. Bloody Microsoft.

Have set up a replacement PC running XP SP2 all fine and dandy with the username Accounts. All set up fine with Office 2003.

However- when I try to open a Word document on the new PC created by the same user (Accounts) with their old PC (which is saved on the server) then Word hangs.

It opens files created by any other user no problems at all and if I logon as a different user, it will open the files created by Accounts no problem at all. So it must be something to do with the username and the data stored about the creator within the Word document.

Now I could work around this by creating another user, say Accounting, and then all should be fine. However- that's not the bloody point.

Any ideas?
