Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

I'm currently trying to install Acrobat 7.0 and it needs to install something in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents, however it keeps getting an access denied error.

I then went to the directory and tried to create a new folder mysef manually but wasn't able to, got the access denied message.

It's XP Home SP2 and as far as I know it's fully patched and up-to-date using Windows Automatic Update. My account is the only account on the PC, so it's not an Admin priveliges problem.

There's no spyware or virii on the pc, and I do regular scans to make sure it's clean.

Anybody have any ideas why I'm not being allowed to create folders in this directory?

Thanks in advance.

Excellent that worked perfectly. For some reason the permissions were to set to read only.

Thanks.
