XP forces local save before network save
Posted by Roger Cook on March 9th, 2006


I have a PC that has been upgraded to XP Pro from Windows 98. There is
another (Windows 98) PC that is being used to store files.

Whenever we try to save files (usually from within Word) to the network
share on the other PC an error pops up about access being denied or
something similar. However if we save the file to the local C drive first
and then save to the network share there is never a problem. Bizarre !

Does anyone have any ideas?

As a first step I would remove all networking components,
then re-install them. If this did not work then I would do
a clean WinXP installation instead of relying on an upgrade
from a dissimilar, inferior and possibly battle-scarred OS.
