Problems with Word and Autosave

I have a program which uses Word to compose a fax. On my users's PC (XP/Word 2003) he gets the message 'Saving the auto recovery file is postponed' and the document disappears when Word tries to autosave. If I try the same thing on my PC (XP/Word 2007), I don't get the message but the document and Word close. I've tried setting in code WordObject.Objects.SaveInterval to zero, but I get a message 'Bad Parameter' when this code is run. I need to be able to disable autosave in code, or in some other way get
rid of this problem. Any suggestions as to how I do this?
