 Saving files from a Vista computer to an XP computer. We have a 3 computer peer to peer network with 2 XP Home computers and a new Vista Business laptop with Office 2007. The XP machines talk to each other and share files effortlessly. The Vista laptop can see both XP machines and can read files on their drives but will not allow us to save to the shared drives - what's the trick. thanks in advance Sam. | Guest

| RE: Saving files from a Vista computer to an XP computer. All sorted. Office 2007 was corrupted I tried to save a Wordpad doc to one of the XP machines and it was OK. Word & Excel wouldn't so voila it was Office 2007 that was the problem - uninstall & reinstall fixed it. "Sam Rutherford" wrote: Quote:
