| | the sharing action could not be completed due to an error I have successfully used sharing folders for a while now. I had a blue screen error on my laptop, pages dumped and the system rebooted. When it came back up, it did a scandisk, fixed some errant files, and operations resumed as usual. Only my sharing folders have been affected that I can tell so far. I get the error message stated in the subject line when I choose OK to the shairng question "xx wants to share files with you". I went into options in live messenger (v8.5.1302, and turned off sharing, then back on, to no avail. As others suggestied, I signed in with a different IM identity, and sharing is working fine with the alternative identity. I also uninstalled and reinstalled live messenger to no avail. Any suggestions are appreciated -- Ron |

| | RE: the sharing action could not be completed due to an error somthing else I notice, which I think is key. When I have my sharing folders folder open, and my acutal sharing folders are shown inside. When I click on one of those folders from my login (the one that does not work), that folder opens in a new windows. On other computers and other logins, it open in the same window, so I think something is corrupt there, but I can't figure out how to fix it -- Ron "Ron" wrote: Quote: > Further investigation reveals that I can log onto another computer, and my > sharing folders work, so it's special to my computer.
