Web Folders in Vista Don't Work !?
I have folders on my website that I can access from my XP computer under My
Network places using the http URL for a desired folder. On my Vista I go to the Add Network Location wizard, type in the URL, get a quick message: "The folder you entered does not appear to be valid". Same URL that works fine on the XP computer. When I create a new folder on the XP computer I get a password-entry panel displayed from my web host, which when satisfied creates the new Web Folder on my PC. I tried turning off firewall, no difference. Went on the web and found a software update at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en Downloaded file (Webfldrs-KB907306-ENU.exe) and tried to run it. Got immediate message: " Webfldrs-KB907306-ENU.exe is not a valid Win32 application" I'm guessing there is some setting on the Vista computer that is blocking my ability to use Web Folders. Any help greatly appreciated!
