Selected Download Folder Not Writable? 2021-07-01, 17:53:21 In addition to the Otter version problem I now have (see the "Otter and Windows XP" thread) I've now found that when I try to download an update to my XP "Documents and Settings" folder, which is mapped to "E:\Dump Folder" on my archive drive, I get a message saying that "the folder is not writable, choose another". If I hit cancel Otter immediately crashes.There is nothing wrong with the folder I'm trying to save the download to, I write to it all the time with loads of programs!I can save to a subfolder within that folder, but not to the folder itself.Any idea why this might be happening?Thanks, Dave. 1 Likes

Reply #2 – 2021-07-03, 21:13:29 Thanks Frenzie, let's hope @Emdek can suggest a reason.I'm sure this is something new, I'm pretty sure I've saved to that folder before in the past without any issues, but that might have been before I made it the XP Documents and Setting user folder. Normally I would suspect a permissions issue, but surely that shouldn't happen with XP, it's not even an NTFS formatted folder, it's FAT32!
