Update: Unable to save HTML file

    For background on this post, please see "Unable to save HTML file" posted
    9/17/2009 12:31PM.
    Thanks to all who provided constructive information regarding this problem,
    +Bob+ in particular.

    Comments:
    (1) A reset of IE did not fix the problem.
    (2) A system restore to the day before installing QuickTime did fix the
    problem. This doesn't prove that QuickTime is at fault, of course, but I
    still have my suspicions. I will probably reload QuickTime shortly, and if
    the problem returns, I'll post it.

    Note: It appears that the system restore reversed the IE reset, so for
    anyone (like me) who might be nervous about doing the reset, the restore is
    a safety backup.

    Thanks,
    crb

    I thought it would be cleaner and easier to find this way. Maybe I was
    wrong.

    It's more a question of continuity.

    Note that you said in the first post of this new thread:

    "For background on this post, please see "Unable to save HTML file"
    posted 9/17/2009 12:31PM".

    Had you appended it to the original thread, it would have been there...

    And I might even have read it :)

    Yes, I'm afraid you're wrong and Gene Bloch is correct. Let me also
    add the following to what Gene says: be sure to quote enough of the
    previous messages in the thread for us all to understand what you are
    talking about. Like most of us here, I don't want to go looking for
    another thread and even in the same thread, I don't save already-read
    messages. So without a quote, most messages turn out to be
    unintelligible.

    No, you were right. The other thread was way down the list and getting
    rather crowded anyway - this is better.

    I'm wondering if you may be using a more sophisticated viewer for this forum
    than I am. My Outlook Express simply lists messages in descending
    chronological order (newest at top) and, as far as I know, doesn't have the
    ability to find new attachments to old messages or delete already-read
    messages. The list currently goes back about 16 days; if my update had been
    to a message, say, 14 days old, would you have even found it? With my
    viewer, I very likely would not have looked back that far, and thus missed
    it entirely. This was my working assumption when starting a new message for
    the "Update."

    What viewer are you using?

    First of all, note that it's a newsgroup, not a forum. Second, you
    read newsgroups with newsreaders, not viewers. I use Forte Agent 5.0
    as my newsreader. You can tell what newsreader someone is using by
    looking at the header of any of his messages (forgive my if I'm wrong,
    but if I recall correctly, in Outlook Express, you can look at it with
    Ctrl-F3).

    <!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->
    > than I am. My Outlook Express simply lists messages in descending

    No, it lists them in whatever order you want them in. To change the
    order. click the header of the column you want to sort by. Click that
    header a second time to change from ascending to descending order, or
    vice-versa.

    Also note that it's almost always best to set Outlook Express (or any
    newsreader) to show messages by thread.

    Attachments? Do you mean messages added to the thread? Yes it does. As
    I said above, turn in the "by thread" feature. (sorry, I don't have
    Outlook Express handy here, and can't remember exactly how to do that.
    I'm sure someone else can tell you).

    <!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->
    > or delete already-read messages. <!--colorc--><!--/colorc-->


    Outlook Express can certainly do that. I did it with Outlook Express
    and I do it with Agent. I don't want to see already-read messages and
    turning off viewing them is a good idea.

    <!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->
    > The list currently goes back about 16 days; <!--colorc--><!--/colorc-->


    How far back it goes depends on how you have Outlook Express set and
    how long the news server you use keeps the messages.

    > if my update had been

    I would have seen your reply, but not the original. Again, I have
    viewing of already-read messages turned off. If it were turned on, it
    would take me at least twice as long to go through the newsgroups I
    participate in.

    As I said above, I use Forte Agent 5.0 as my newsreader. Although I
    like it a lot, everybody does things differently and Outlook Express
    (which I used to use) may be just as good or even better for *you*.
    But I strongly recommend that you do some serious research into how to
    use it.

    Thanks, Ken, for the lesson in newsgroup terminology. Thanks also for the
    tips in getting around more efficiently with my reader. (See, I'm already
    talking "right".)

    As you can tell, I'm not a regular user of the newsgroup. I only come here
    when I can't figure something out myself, and need help from people more
    knowledgeable than I am. Fortunately, that's not too often, but I must say
    I'm very appreciative of the people who are here to help when I need it.

    I will definitely make it a point to get to know my newsreader better!

    And glad to see that. Talking "right" is not so important for its own
    sake, but you always run the risk of being misunderstood if you don't.

    Yes, although there are a few trolls and ignorant people who give out

    Good, and if you need help with it, ask away (although your questions
    would be more likely to get the answers you need in an Outlook Express
    newsgroup than here in a Windows XP one).
