Hello,

I recently started getting this error message (the one pasted below) and ones very similar to it whenever I'm trying to download something from a website, etc.

It looks to me like the "Save To" destination is invalid. So in other words the browser has a default location on your hard drive to save downloads and that place no longer exists. If you can try clicking "ok" and then select a valid location on your disk to save the download.

Thank you for the reply and the help. I'm still confused though. What would cause this destination that I save my things to to all of a sudden disappear? Why is it happening no matter what I try to save? The box at the top where it tells me where the destination to save is also is blank every time this happens, and I don't know why that started happening either. Something is just not right, and I don't understand what it is and how to permanently resolve it so I don't have to go through all this every single time. Do you have any other ideas, thoughts, or suggestions? I really do appreciate your help. I hope you have a great weekend!!

:huh: Michele
