    Unable to save Office document - Outlook webmail


    Hi all,

    I've had this recurring issue with Windows 7 and I can't seem to work around it.

    I often do a little bit of office work at home and I generally email myself the files I'm interested in while I'm still @ work, sign into my company Outlook webmail when I get home, download the files, and work on them @ home.

    Now, I've noticed something strange with Windows 7 and it's baffling the hell outta me!

    When I open a file directly from an attachment, I can edit it fine etc., but when I attempt to save it, it says I am unable to save to the specified location! I've tried a "save as" and created a folder with no permission restrictions whatsoever and it still refuses to save! I cannot save it anywhere!!

    If I save the attachment first and then edit the saved attachment, all is fine - it seems to me like a user access issue, but I can't be certain.

    Any ideas people?

    It seems the outlook webmail software is incompatible with W7 - why dont you add an email account to micosoft outlook or start a windows live email account or mozilla firefox's Thunderbird, etc - that way your mail will be sent directly to your home pc.

(FYI - this is the first of three BSODs I've had in the last 4 days. I'm filing each as a separate thread. Hope that's appropriate.) I was accessing two email accounts using webmail in Chrome (version 51.0.2704.103 m). Had opened a mail-to-myself in one of them with an eye to saving an...
Over this past one year I have noticed more and more frequent BSOD crashes so I started paying close attention to what I was doing. Since then 100 percent of the BSOD occurred almost immediately after trying to save (via clicking the save icon, ^s (shortcut), or even save as). I found the...

When I File -> Save As, I get a message "WORD has stopped working" Same results with all OFFICE applications. And with a separately installed copy of VISIO. This may be a result of a hang in Easy Transfer. Easy Transfer was sitting for hours saying "1 minute" remaining. I terminated the...
I learned the hard way when I realized my external backup did not backup my Outlook 2003 mail. I just installed Win 7 and when I went to move my Outlook mail over from my external drive, only old mail was there from '06 and '07. I still can't figure this out - why did it not save my current...
