Websites no longer to "interact" with computer (browse, Photbucket, etc)

Fewmitz · 06-26-2009, 06:45 AM

I'm not sure when exactly this happened, but lately I've been unable to "browse" for files. Adding an attachment, uploading something to photobucket, those sorts of things. I get nothing.

Actually, I can't even right click and image and click "save as" anymore. It just doesn't work. Or, it looks like it tries to do...something, but any time it comes to the part where I would normally choose a path on my computer, it just bites it.

I'm assuming this is a Vista problem, because it doesn't work in Firefox or Chrome. Going to try Opera next, but to be frank, I'm not optimistic.

Boot into safe mode with networking and see if that changes anything.

Bringing this back up because I sort of forgot about it, and it's rather bothersome at this point.

It's still happening. I booted into safe mode and it didn't fix anything.

Have you scanned for malware lately?

(I keep forgetting about this topic until it becomes a problem)

Yes, I have. Computer is clean, but the problem persists.

Logon on to another user account and see if the problem persists there as well.
