Details

Trying to open files like .xls gives the error-message: D:\DOCUME~1\ALANGE~1.EUR\LOCALS~1\TEMP\e81o10hd.xls could not be saved, because the source file could not be read. Try again later, or contact the server administrator. This happens with all files where an external application would have to be started, so it can not be a server error. Happens since upgrading from 1.1final to 1.2beta 1.1final was the first version of Mozilla on this XP Professional PC.
