can't save as target
« on: October 26, 2004, 09:57:25 PM »
ok guys, i'm new here and i'm pretty much a computer dummy, (that would be why i'm here) so bear wth me here.  actually, i'm not even sure if this is the right place to post this question, but i figure there are enough computer nerds in here (i use that term lovingly and respectfully) that someone is bound to know this....ok....here it it:

my step-dad recently played around with my computer and changed some stuff on me.  before he toyed around with it, i would save video files to my c: drive by right clicking, then clicking "save as target", but now when i do it, the words "save as target" are grey instead of black and nothing happens when i click it.  
"open", "open in new window", "copy shortcuts", "add to favorites" and "properties" are all still black, but everything else is grey.  what do i do to be able to save stuff again?  please e-mail me if you can help and let me know either what to do or what more info i can give you so you can help.  thanks a ton.  sorry it's so long.

A dating service would be quite a profitable idea, it seems..

Didn't sound like a joke to me.

Why do you ask us that? Ask your stepdad if it's your computer.. Why did you even allow him to set a password if you paid for the PC?
