Default Problems with invalid save file - Vista

Howdy all,

As a recent convert to vista, I am now encountering many problems which others are as well, but despite searching these forums, I am yet to find someone with the same problem (and then solution) as me. And here is my problem.

I have recently upgraded to vista, and shortly afterwards installed the latest limewire version. I created a downloads folder on the d:\ drive where I also keep a lot of my other things, such as music etc. I want new and incoming downloads to end up in this folder.

That worked fine for a few days, but today, inexplicably, when I started limewire a error message appeared which informed me that this folder was invalid, write protected etc, and asking that I find a new path. I went to the downloads folder on the D:\, right clicked on folder icon and noticed that under properties, the square sayign read only was filled in. I unclicked this setting, and thinking that the folder could now be written to, directed LW to this path. It wouldn't accept it. I went back and looked at the folder again, and to my dismay, it again had the 'read only' square filled in. I unclicked it, pressed apply, closed the window, then opened propreties and again and it was back again to read only?!?!? What the hell??

Has anyone encountered this problem? I am assuming that this read only square resetting itself is the reason that limewire won't let me save there. Is this true? How do I fix this, and stop the folder reverting to 'read only@??/


Cheers
Zahael
