    Saves log files ?

    You can either read the files in Windows or my preferred method is.....

    Download CCcleaner from here...........

    http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

    You can then run cleaner, you will see the log files listed, then if you right click you can save as a text file and then have a read. You may also get an "error reporting" log listed seperatly.

    Unable to save new Notepad files

    When I go to save a new Notepad file, I am not able to save it. I get the error message "File not found. Check the file name and try again."

    When typing any text in the a new notepad document, an * appears on the top line before "Untiled- Notepad".

    I have looked at all the permissions (right-click a Notepad file, Properties, Security Tab) for the Notepad application. All users (SYSTEM, myself, Administrators) have ALLOW selected for Full Control, Modify, Read & Execute, Read, and Write. All users
    do not have Special Permissions selected in ALLOW. All users have none of the DENY boxes checked.

    I have also tried right-clicking in the empty space on the desktop and then selecting New>Notepad. I get a Notepad file on my desktop and I am able to edit the filename, but I am unable to add any text to that new Notepad file.

    I can edit/add/delete text to an old text file and save it. I am also able edit the filename of an old Notepad files.

    I am not able to open an old text file and make a copy of it using a different filename.

    ADDITION - I also discovered I cannot download PDF files. Get the same error message as I do when trying to save new Notepad files. I had to download the PDF file to a flashdrive and then move them over to my desktop.
