Something corrupt with my Windows? This is probably one of the most frustrating issues I have ever had. I have no idea what its called, but what I am referring to is the box that opens when you do a "Save As". Its like stuck in my libraries folder and wont recognize any type of other files or even display them within it. The worst part is I cannot even save the file, all I get is "File Name Not Valid"! This is also the case whenever I try to browse to a file through another program, still stuck in the same folder unable to open anything.

Hi notws, welcome to SevenForums!
I'd like to understand the issue better, so I'm wondering whether this warning pops up as soon as you open the file dialog, or only when you actually try to save a file?
If you simply click OK on the warning, does it then go away? Are you able to browse and save/open files afterward?
If not, what happens instead? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom-built OS Windows 7 Professional SP1 32-bit CPU Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz, overclocked to 2.7GHz Motherboard Asus PL5D2 Memory 4GB DDR2-667 (4x1GB in dual-channel config) Graphics Card nVidia GeForce 9800 GT Sound Card Creative X-Fi XtremeMusic Monitor(s) Displays Acer Screen Resolution 1920x1200 (DVI) Keyboard Standard Mouse Microsoft wireless optical mouse PSU Antec TruePower 2.0 Case Cooler Master Centurion Cooling various fans Hard Drives OCZ SSD Vertex Plus 60GB SATA (Firmware 3.55), 64MB cache

It only pops up when I click save, and when I close it, it goes away. But then when I click save again it pops back up. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit |

Right Click on Documents under Libraries and select Properties. Post a pic of the properties. It doesn't look like you have any folders there even though you specified two locations.

Actually, does this happen with any filename you try to save the file under? Or just with "image", as shown in your screenshot?
Have you tried typing in "image.jpg" instead and saving that way? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom-built OS Windows 7 Professional SP1 32-bit CPU Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz, overclocked to 2.7GHz Motherboard Asus PL5D2 Memory 4GB DDR2-667 (4x1GB in dual-channel config) Graphics Card nVidia GeForce 9800 GT Sound Card Creative X-Fi XtremeMusic Monitor(s) Displays Acer Screen Resolution 1920x1200 (DVI) Keyboard Standard Mouse Microsoft wireless optical mouse PSU Antec TruePower 2.0 Case Cooler Master Centurion Cooling various fans Hard Drives OCZ SSD Vertex Plus 60GB SATA (Firmware 3.55), 64MB cache

Have you tried typing in "image.jpg" instead and saving that way? It happens with all formats, it also does the same thing when I try to upload a video through YouTube. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit Something corrupt with my Windows? problems?
