Yeah, I would uninstall, Jesse. It's just taking up space and won't be usable.

Does anyone know a plug-in widget that would let me (a) put an image in a sidebar and/or (b)change text fonts, size and color in a sidebar?

I've tried using the HTML widget, and I get no love.

It's for Wordpress.org, btw.

(Also, did sign up for Hootsuite, and so far, it's getting a YAY! from me!)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Does anyone use Hootsuite? Does it really help keep track of Twitter, FB, WPress and all that?

Don't know about WP, but yes to Twitter and Facebook.

It only keeps tracks of WP.com, and not WP.org, but that's no big.

Dudes, I am earning SO MUCH GEEK CRED in the last two weeks!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

So, when you try to save a file to the c: drive, do you get a message saying please give admin credentials, or does it just say you can't do it at all?

Is UAC turned on or off?

it tells me i can't do it at all. even though i'm set up as the Admin.

UAC is turned down to notify me when changes are trying to be made to programs. should i turn it off completely?

Can't hurt to try it and see, you can turn it back on afterwards if you like.

What anti-virus or other security software is running? Is it set to check files before write operations? That can sometimes restrict allowed write locations as well.

In mine it looks like there's not much access granted by default to Program Files in particular. What is it you're trying to write there? Are you able to save stuff to other folders, like your document folders under your user, etc.?

I have AVG anti-virus running.

I just save programs there, like, AVG or VLC. i can save things to other folders with no problem. i'll try turning the UAC off completely the next time i want to save something to the Progam File and see if that does the trick. i think i had to do the same thing with Vista.
