i have just recently become unable to download anything to any folder.
all of my folders are set to read only and every time i try to change
that setting, it switches back. i have set my permissions to full
control on all files and folders, except some that come back with access
denied. i have tried disabling the uac to no avail. any help on this
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Moshdog

All folders in Windows (since XP anyway) are Read-only - it doesn't affect
access to the contents of them.
You need to be far more specific as to what happens when you try.

Ok, i am trying to download a file for a class. an hour prior to
attempting this download, i was able to download a different file. now
every time i try to download something, the download does not show up
anywhere on my computer, regardless of where i try to save it to, even
an external hard drive and a flash drive. i use firefox, and in the
download window, the "open", "open containing folder" and "go to
download page" options are unavailable for all downloads.
