Windows 7: Save page has changed

I'm not sure if this is a Windows situation or something with a program I use called Paint Shop Pro (PSP), but the page has changed that I view when saving a file within PSP. My apologies for posting if it's not windows related, but thought I'd try here first.

When I save a file, the page save dialog box comes up for me to tell it where to save it. It used to be that the page underneath that box would show the files and folders in the right pane, and in the left pane would be the Explore tree showing what's on computer. Now, when I save something in PSP, I only see the files and folders and not the tree.

If I save a Works document, I do see what I'm used to seeing, so that's what made me think it may just be a malfunction of my PSP program.

I have tried to resize the window as it comes up full screen and it will not let me grab any side to resize. The 2 small black arrows show up only on the left-hand side and won't appear on any other side of the page. However, even with that, it just won't budge.

It just started appearing in this format in the past week -- until then, I saw the Explore Tree as well. It's no biggie and I can live with it, but just wondered why it changed and if there was a way to get it back to what I was used to seeing.

Any ideas, please?

Thanks,

In the Save as dialog, click on Organize, Layout then check Navigation Pane.

When saving from PSP, I do not have those options available. I do have those options and they are defaulted to that if saving something from Wordpad, Works, etc. If I could figure out how to attach a screen shot of what I get, I do have a .jpg of it, but don't know how to do that.

The file open/save dialogs can vary somewhat depending on the software in use, and any modifications one has made to the user interface, however, they are usually quite similar at least. You may have the option to "Hide Folders"; ( Outlined in red in the screen shot below),

If you click on this it will once again show your navigation tree pane.



Also, if you have the option "Organise" ( Highlighted red in the screen shot);



You can change the layout to show the navigation pane by clicking on it.

windsorlady, to post a picture, click on the little wedge next to the paper clip icon, then browse to find the jpg then upload it. Close the window then click on the paper clip wedge again and now the uploaded jpg will be there, click on it to insert into your post.

THanks for the directions on this and the attachments. I'm not having problems when viewing the area you're showing me. It's just when I save it in PSP, it gives me this page. Up until today (and I've not made any changes - not even a windows update (LOL)), it appeared like image below, but the Explore tree appeared on the left. It's no biggie -- at least I can still save it where I need to.

Oh gosh --- you can't even see that (LOL). I can zoom the attachment on my computer at my end. I've uploaded it here if that helps.

That's a bit unusual, something has changed your dialog boxes. Have you installed any other software?

What do you get when you click on "options" at the lower right?

There is also an icon of a yellow folder with a wedge in it at the top. What options do you get if you click on that?

Here is another variation of the "save" dialog, which is opened by another program, in this case "Photo Filtre";

It is similar to yours, but has other options;



I suppose that you should be able to reach the display options through one of the "extra" options you have in your screen shot.

Clicking on the attachment makes it large enough to see.
