FileError_22001
Everytime I open an existing MS Office file, I get an error
"FileError_22001". I also get this same error when I try to create a new document. It happens on Word, Excel and Powerpoint documents. Does anyone know how to fix this? |

FileError_22001
Since the weekend, I also have this same problem. All of my word and excel files have this error as their content and the author has been set to yani! I suspect this is a virus and have scanned with Mcafee abd Trend Home call but neither can find anything and none of the virus companies seem to know about a virus that does this! Any help or advice would be great!! -- PeterDFrance ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PeterDFrance's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/peterdfrance.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/ms-office...rt/1080819.htm http://forums.techarena.in |

FileError_22001
This problem started with me on Sunday, November 30. Almost all of my excel files and winword files say FileError_22001 when I attempt to open them. I fear I've lost many very important files. I'm hoping someone might know how I can get my files back. At the same time I've been infected with WinWeb Security which both SuperAntiSpyware and PC Tools Spyware Doctor have failed to remove. I suspect the process on my computer called 501AFB7E.exe is the culprit but I've found NO reference to that file name. If there anyone who can help me? -- wjalverson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wjalverson's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/wjalverson.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/ms-office...rt/1080819.htm http://forums.techarena.in |

FileError_22001
P.S. I was using MS Office 2003. I tried uninstalling then re-installing
with no luck. I also uninstalled all of the add-in's for MS Office before doing the re-install. I upgraded to MS Office 2007, again no luck. I pulled one of each Word, Excel and Powerpoint corrupted files off of this computer via USB drive and tried opening them on another computer, no luck. I did the reverse, pulled good files off of another computer and moved them over to this computer and they worked just fine. I ran multiple virus scans, checked the registry and compared files, no luck. I did however notice that the author and last saved by was "Yani". I also noticed this took place at the exact same time (Nov. 26, 2008 at 8:39am) for all of the files. It's all interesting to note that my computer was not powered on at that paticular point. Did various searches for any information regarding this error and couldn't find anything. Any insight would be helpful.

FileError_22001
'ELP! I had a fault with my HD. Fixed by a specialist and it now works OK _except_ that having (re) loaded my Office 2003, any attempt to access/display any of my archive WORD documents or pictures results in the above error message. The documents are still there - I can see 'em listed on screen - but I can't access! Suspect this is connected with similar reports from other users here. Anyone got any bright ideas before the men in white coats come to take me away??? Despite the fact that the HD has just been cleaned, I have run 'SpyDoctor' and 'AVG8' and neither has picked up anything. |

FileError_22001
Noticed this virus on Dec 1st but Word documents were changed on 26 November by Yani. I wasn't on-line that day so I assume the virus arrived earlier and waited for the 26th. The contents of the files have been moved to 2 directories CDD and FLR on the C: drive under Docs and settings/user name/Applications. All the Word docs, Excels and JPGs are there as .fcd files which are normally some kind of CAD files. You can identify some of the words but there is no format info to help re-create them. I tried ISObuster which is usually OK but no luck. Eventually I deleted the office suite (Word, Excel and Powerpoint), deleted all corrupted images. Used search on Yani to find all the Excel and Word docs and deleted the lot. Then re-installed the office suite. Problem seems to be fixed. Has anyone found a restore solution? or any info on where this may have come from? |

I got it too - Yesterday-Viper caught it but it wiped my HD and BU before I could run a full scan. Lost tons o stuff - I see the files as well, but cannot open. Anyone, anything? -- drdavid53 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ drdavid53's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/drdavid53.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/ms-office...rt/1080819.htm http://forums.techarena.in |

FileError_22001
New imformation on FileError_22001. I have been looking deeper into this error and still haven't found a way to fix it. I did however notice that all of my infected files (.jpeg, .doc, .xls, etc.) were located on my desktop. Files that I've stored in folders not located on the desktop (the same type of files I listed above, .jpeg, .doc, .xls, etc.) work just fine. Give this a try and see how you make out. If this works for you as well, I would highly recommend backing those files up immediately. I don't know if these files will eventually become infected so by playing it safe and backing them up, you help preserve at least some of your information. Hope this helps save some of you some headaches. -- tombodett7 |

New imformation on FileError_22001
One of our sales people had the same problem, after checking the details on all of his .XLS, .DOC, and .JPG, I found that all of the files were now the same size and had the same date and time stamp. It almost appears that each of the files was overwritten by a file containing the FileError_22001 message. I dont have the skill level to check it closer but I did a search for hidden files and other file with same name but a different extension and had no luck with that either. We tried the following: Moved the files to a clean drive Tried a new version of office Tried viewing the files thru a groupwise email converter. |

FileError_22001
Although this might not be helpful, seeing as though I have lost 100's of
hours of work and photographs I will never recover. This is the straw that has broken the proverbial Camel's back. I will be reformatting my PC and installing Ubuntu. The lack of comment by M$ confirms my decision. They seem so much like the Financial Industry right now and the political machinery in this democracy, (See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil and deny any involvement). Unfortunately the virus broke on Black Monday (well known for targeting online shoppers... go figure?)..Well fortunately I dont do any shopping online so I hope that you will all be safe from the credit card fraud out there. Cheers M$ can I get a refund for all the money spent on your crappy OS and apps ? Also should I lose info is it my fault (efs was enabled) or should I just wait for Windows 7 ? The most secure platform ever after 3.11? "tombodett7" wrote: Everytime I open an existing MS Office file, I get an error "FileError_22001".
