Hello. I have windows xp sp3 with last updates. Today, I tried to download a png-image with google chrome.
But it told me that it didn't have enough permissions. I tried to disable firewall and antivirus. All was without any change. Afterwards, I tried it with Opera-brouser. But nothing change.
However, I can download image file with internet explorer to the same place, so my download filder have necessary permision. am I right? And it is really strange because opera can donwload exe and other type of file.
So could anyone suggest an idea of why I can't download image files with a browser.
Thanks in advance.

So I found out that it is problem with "my documents" and its sub-folders exactly.
None of the browsers can't save files to this folder except IE.
I checked the permissions for recording. Everything seems to be correct.
I also change the location of "my documents" but it didn't help as well.
I really don't know what the point is.
Hope that someone will help me.

To be a sauerkraut, XP support has ended totally. You must upgrade your OS. No offense.
