Can't save files to libraries via browser

[alevenso]

When I try to save a file - any type of file from either Firefox or IE by right clicking and selecting "save link as" or save image as" etc... and try to save it to a library I get "the specified module could not be found" I can save it if I browse to the "C" drive and navigate the tree - I also notice when the common file dialogue comes up for the libraries it shows how many locations the library has - but the window does not populate with the contents on that library - I have scoured the internet and just cant find a solution - I have tested other systems with the same config and they do not have this issue -

I get the impression that it has to do with either ownership or permissions for the library.

Hi, have you tried putting a folder in the library first and save to that folder.

 

[alevenso]

Thx for the replies - I would agree that it looks like a permissions issue , so I took ownership recursively of the folders -including the root folder but still no luck

I just tried a brand new library with a brand new folder in it and I get the same results -

really odd -

 

[seekermeister]

Taking ownership does not mean the same as taking permissions. Try that also.

 

[alevenso]

I should have been more specific - I took ownership recursively and gave Everyone Full Control recursively - same result ...

Have you turned off or in any other way adjusted the settings for Windows Search or Indexing Services?

 

[alevenso]

I do not believe I did make any changes to search or indexing - I just looked and I do have a few folders excluded like ProgramData , not sure if that is a default ....

 

[seekermeister]

Try including ProgramData back into indexing and see what happens.

 

[alevenso]

I added ProgramData and Windows to indexing - still no luck - but I do have progress - and I hope this is not some "no-duh" type of thing , but I tried 64bit IE and that worked as expected - so I downloaded 64bit Firefox (Namoroka) and that also works - I did not think libraries were specific to 64 bit bit Windows , and imagine they should not be - any thoughts as to why 32 bit browsers might be failing?

 

[seekermeister]

No, Opera is 32 bit, and it has no problem saving to the libraries.

I'm sorry to hear you are having an issue saving files. Here is some information about libraries and indexing in Windows 7 that you may find useful: Libraries: frequently asked questions.

You can also try troubleshooting in Windows: Troubleshooting in Windows.

Hope this Helps!

Did you ever get a fix for this?

 

[alevenso]

No- still trying- there has been some activity at this link where I also posted the problem - Can not save to Windows 7 libraries from 32 bit appications using Windows 7 64 bit OS - Super User

LOL. I've been trying to answer that question. It's the reason I've been looking round the web.
