When downloading files, any type files, just using IE's dialog, or using a Download Manager's dialog, Explorer's Save or Save As panels *will not* allow me to create a new folder on XPpro [current user's] desktop! I am allowed to save the file to the desktop, and of course, can then create a new folder directly on the desktop with the context menu, and etc. It will allow me to create a new folder anywhere else and save any type file being downloaded into that new folder.It simply will not allow me to create a new folder on the Desktop.Could this be some kind of registry alteration?
I've been searching for most parts of the net and the forums here and did install uninstall restore my notepad, paint and wordpad but nothing seems to work.When these files are opened, nothing seems to be a problem. But whenever you attempt to save by Ctrl+S, or the by clicking File>Save or File>Save As the program automatically closes. This has been a consistent behavior for the 3 softwares.I'm using Windows XP 64 bit OS and had no error messages of any sort except that these programs just close themselves when a save attempt is done.I did virus and malware scans by Avast, ESET Nod & Kaspersky and nothing was detected.Reinstalling isn't an option for me now as I don't have any optical drive... besides, this may be very hard for me but I'm willing to suffer for the sake of learning.
A while back I had a program or a tweak that enabled me to change/add to the list on the left side of the window that opens when you want to save or save as. So, if I was saving a photo, instead of clicking on My Documents >> My Pictures, I was able to just click on My Pictures, ect. (See Photo) Does anyone know of a tweak/program that would allow me to do this?
I noticed this problem like a week ago. I tried to download and save some vids, but the windows that says the percent of your download just freezes. I thought it was a problem with the vid, but now I see it's the computer.Whatever I try to dowload it's the same problem. What can it be? It was fine before.
I can't get Windows Explorer in Win 2k to save it's settings. I've run Registry Mechanic but the problem persists. Is there a Registry tweak to straighten this out?
my computer is unable to save any files at all. It cannot save files off the internet or save any files in a Save As.. format? Ive searched the internet for the last 2 weeks looking for some infomation on the problem but i cannot find anything?
My computer does this stalling when I do a Save, Save As. It stalls for about 20 sec. But when I do a Save or Save As out of Auto-Cad it stalls and then locks up completely. I've check all my network setting and they seem to be correct.
I am retiring my 7-year old computer. I need to know how to save my Favorites and email folders to a 3 1'2" floppy. I can't save to a CDR because my drive is not functioning.
I want to download Microsoft's antispyware beta. But I've never downloaded anything before.I've started a few but I get confused when I'm suppose to click on "run" or "save", so I end up canceling. I'm pretty new to all this computer stuff but I was able to figure out that I can probably do either one. What I need to know are the steps to take for both. I hope I'm making sense. If not I'll try again.
I am running into an issue when I do File Save As from Excel, Word, etc. The application hangs and I am forced to re-boot. Additionally, when I run Windows Explorer that hangs as well when 2x click on the C drive. Opening files is fine and saving(w/o save as) is fine.
How do I set the history on my PC to keep more then 1 day to view? I used to be able to select a number of days but not anymore? I currently use Internet Explorer 8 and have Windows XP. When I click on History and View by Date it still doesn't give me the option to keep anymore then the current day.
I've updated from ME to XP and have just finished setting it up. The only problem I've found is that I cannot save Favorites. When I go to Organise/Create Folder I get an error message 306.
I am unable to save programs to CDs. When I choose "Save to" on my drop down menu, my only choices are "Floppy(A) and "Removable Disk (D) which I presume is my Zip drive. How do I add "Removable Disk(E)" and "Removable Disk (F)" to the menu? Or can I? "E" is my original CD drive and "F" is my CD player and burner. MY OS is Windows 2000 Pro SP4.
I set my laptop, running XP, to "hibernate", which it does for the one time. When I reboot and, later, shutdown, the machine turns to "standby". Is there any way to savethe setting for hibernation constantly and not have it revert to "standby"? It's a nuisance having to set hibernate each time I want it to do this.
When I save to cd I can not play it in my dvd player it is a new dvd player that supports high mat and video cds. I can play the cd in my computer in windows media player but to send one to some one who doesn't have a computer they can't use it. what do I do to save it in a format that most dvd players will host.
When I right click to "Save Image as" on a graphic file, the "Save As" window pops up and it lets me go through all the motions of selecting a location and name for the file, but then it does not actually save it when I click the "Save" button. The file does NOT get saved. And the progress and completion window does not come up to confirm the save.This has happened once before about a year ago, and I somehow fixed it by accident. Now it has happened again, and for the life of me.
To make a backup, I want to do this: robocopy g: i:BU_G /s /xo /purge /xf pagefile*.* /w:1 /r:1 BUT *only* on files whose names start with 0-9 or a-k Is there a way in batch files?
Running Windows XP SP2 and I have just noticed in the couple days, that whenever I use an open/save as dialog box (to open/save a song in from firefox, to send a file in messenger etc), all the files are getting listed and arranged by name in reverse order (z-a).They were always getting displayed by name in the right order, which I assume is the default, until recently.Any idea on how I could get it back that way? I know it is a minor issue, but it has really decreased the speed with which I look through my system.I've tried arranging the icons by name, but it never seems to save.
When I right-click on files to download the 'save target as' option is not there... Its not grayed in, its just not there. It works on some sites but not most.The site says that I have to download doing that and there is no other way.
I recently installed Win XP with SP2. After this, I am not able to save files using the "Save Target As" option in the Right click menu. For files with extensions like .exe and .zip clicking on the link opens a window that asks if I want to run the program or Save. If I select Save, I am able to save the file. But for files like .pdf I am not able to save because clicking on the link opens the Acrobat Reader plug in and the file opens in the internet explorer. How do I save pdf files?
I recently had to reinstall everything following a virus which locked me out of my pc. However since then, if I try and download certain .wmv files with Internet Explorer, they will not play on Media Player 10. These files worked absolutely fine before the reboot. I tried downloading the same files with a p2p program and they work with no problems with Media Player.Is there something I can do to reconfigure the way explorer downloads things, as I really want to be able to do things as I did before. I'm pretty sure it's an IE problem rather than a codec because as mentioned, the files work just fine when I download them with a different method rather than 'Save Target As'.
When scanning an article and trying browse to choose the folderto save to the browse dialog box is completely blank is this likely to be and epson problem or windows.
In any applications, when I click save as, that box hangs for at least 35-40 seconds before I can tell it where to save the file. Exemple: In IE, if I download a file, I'll click save as, and wait 35-40 seconds before I get a response from the computer. I have tried just about anything I know to fix this without having to reformat. I have the same dehavior in messenger or any of the other programs I use. The problem seems to be with the open/save as dialog box. I run WinXp Pro, SP2. Does anybody have any clues on how to fix this bizzare problem of mine?
Desktop - Windows XP SP3 - AMD Athlon 1800+1.53GHz - 640MB RAM (Built 2002)(Wife's Computer) - HP 3740 Printer.I have only just fixed this PC after a 6 month viral infection and now have full security (if there is such a thing) and all seems to be working fine except that whenever I try to print, I get the Save Dialog Box (prompting a '*.xls') instead of the Print Dialog Box. Naturally with all the Malware scans and fixes that have been done, the Registry has taken alot of messing about but should be clean now. However there is an entry which I cannot find any info for; HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentversionRunlphc17aj0er6r.exe Supposedly residing in C:/Windows/System32 but I have been unable to find it there. As a temporary precaution I have renamed it's file extension. Does anyone know anything about this file and whether there may be a connection with the Save/Print problem.
