Have a Word Macro Detect Your Thumb Drive

I keep all my word files on a 8 gb USB jumb drive so that I can take them from one computer to another. I have all my templates and custom macros in one directory. I have a macro to attach the template to the documents.

The problem is the drive letter changes as I move the USB drive from computer to computer. Then I get an error and I have to use debug to change the drive letter at the start of each session. Is there any way to make the macro look for the template taking into consideration that the drive letter may change.

Thank you,
Larenzo

Referenced Memory Cannot Be Read

I loaded a video game and it won't run because of the following error: the instruction @ 0x7c911404 referenced memory @ oxffffffff9 cannot be "read". I am also trying to download vidoes from ITunes onto my ipod, and it won't show.. When I tried downloading the ITunes 6 version again on the computer it gave me a similar error message as above (maybe not the exact same numbers, but it was an .exe file that could not be read.. Do I have a driver issue on this computer? I tried downloading a recent VGA driver after talking to the game manufacturer support center, but it's still not working. They gave up trying to help me with this error. Please help if you can. Theresa
