Cannot save to external disk - Windows 7 admin problem

Post by Lausanne » Fri Dec 24, 2010 10:13 pm

New laptop. Windows 7. Seagate external drive. Only one user on laptop. no password. so user is default administrator. When attempting to save project as to external drive error message says "you don't have permission to save in this location. Contact the administrator to obtain permission. Would you like to save in "user's name"s folder instead?"

NO, really I just want it to do what I've ASKED! grrrrrr.

So, any help, please? I know this is a Windows 7 problem but I'm not a computer whiz. I need a way to make this work that won't take a computer science degree.

Thanks!
