Hi, this forum has helped me with lots of programming problems in the past, but now I have a non-programing computer problem, and I don't know where to turn for help. (Can't find relevant answers on Google).
I'll illustrate my problem.
I've tried downloading a pdf from a website. I then save the file to a location on my hard drive. When I go to the folder where I saved the file, I can't find it.
I defined where it was to be saved. But the folder is empty. I've tried using explore to find the file, but it can't be found.
If I try to resave the file, I'm told the file exists in the correct directory. I can see it- I can even open it! But if I try to locate it using explorer- no luck.
I'm using Windows XP SP3.
I've tried downloading the file from IE7 and Firefox 3.5.7
I'm using PDF X-Change.
I don't think it has anything to do with the PDF program though, as I've also had a similar problem with a couple of videos that I've downloaded using Real Player (again I can download, see the file in the save as dialog box, but not see the file- or the size of it in the folder window- nor can I search for it).
I've also tried saving the files to different folders, and to an external harddrive. Again with the same results. I've tried downloading the same pdf file from my wife's computer, without any problem at all- I can see the file and open it. She is also running XP, and the same PDF and Anti-virus program as me.
It just doesn't make sense to me.
I've also run my anti-virus program twice. I'm using Zone Alarm, and it is uptodate.
Can anyone help me solve this problem?
Thanks
